Look at these examples to see how adjectives are used with prepositions.

Try this exercise to test your grammar.

Read the explanation to learn more.

Grammar explanation

Some adjectives go with certain prepositions. There are no grammatical rules for which preposition is used with which adjective, so it's a good idea to try to learn them together. To help you do this, write new vocabulary in your notebook in a sentence or phrase.

However, there are some patterns that can help you. Let's look at them first. Remember that a preposition is followed by a noun or a gerund (-ing form).

We use at with adjectives like good/ bad/ amazing/ brilliant/ terrible, etc. to talk about skills and abilities.

We often use about with adjectives of feelings like angry/ excited/ happy/ nervous/ sad/ stressed/ worried, etc. to explain what is causing that feeling.

However, sometimes we use of with feelings.

We can use to to show the connection between people or things.

We can also use to to talk about someone's behaviour towards someone else.

Here are some other useful adjectives with prepositions.

She's interested in the project.
They want someone who'sexperienced in design.
I didn't want to getinvolved in the argument.

Few, A Few—What's the Difference? | Grammarly

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.provider_name
Few, A Few-What's the Difference? | Grammarly

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Few is a quantifier used with plural countable nouns.

Without the article "a," few emphasizes a small number of something.

Adding the article removes the emphasis-a few means some.

The same rule applies to little, which is used with singular uncountable nouns.

Here's a tip: Want to make sure your writing always looks great? Grammarly can save you from misspellings, grammatical and punctuation mistakes, and other writing issues on all your favorite websites.

When it comes to few and little, adding an "a" can change the meaning of the sentences in which they appear. The change is subtle, however, so it can be easily missed.

The Difference Between Few and a Few

We use the word few when we want to talk about the quantity of something. Usually, we use it when we want to talk about a small quantity:

In the sentence above, we used few to indicate that only one or two members of the family leave town-most of them stay put. However, if we were to add "a" to few, we would be saying something else:

Here we're saying that some members of the family leave their hometown. It's still not a lot of them, but the emphasis is on the fact on that there are some who do leave, and not that their number is small. Here's another example:

In the first sentence, we are saying that, although we have a lot of friends, we haven't known them for very long-there's only a small number of them we've known since high school. In the second sentence, we are saying that we have many friends and some of them are really old friends-we've known them since high school.

The exception to these usage rules is a few in the phrase quite a few. That phrase is used to indicate the opposite of a few. Quite a few means a lot:

Difference Between Little and a Little

Little and a little follow the same pattern as few vs. a few. The only difference is that we use few and a few with countable nouns in the plural form, and we use little and a little with uncountable nouns:

In the first example, we are saying that we didn't have a lot of time before we had to go. In the second one, we're saying that we had some time, albeit not a lot of it, to prepare.

To make it easier, you could think about it as you would about the proverbial glass of water-you use few and little when you want to point out that the glass is half empty (there's little water in the glass) and you use a few and a little when you want to point out that the glass is half full (at least there's some of it). By the way, you should use little and a little with "water" because it's an uncountable noun.

Read the text about the history of Youtube . Decide which of the four words best fits each space.
YouTube was by three former employees of Paypal, Jawed Karim, Steve Chen and Chad Hurley in 2005. Over a decade later it has become one of the most visited sites in the history of the Internet. Up to then, videos could not be on websites. It was a Janet Jackson Super Bowl incident as well as the southeast Asian tsunami of 2004 that triggered the idea.

In 2005 Sequoia Capital to invest $ 11.5 million in YouTube, a new start-up that that had its first headquarters above a pizzeria in California. In April 2005 , the first ever video, called " Me at the Zoo", was uploaded by co-founder Karim. Half a year later a Nike commercial the first video to receive one million views.

After extremely quick growth, Google bought the company for over $ 1.5 billion . However, the site was comparatively small and hadn't even many other parts of the world. By the end of the decade YouTube had signed contracts with TV stations which uploaded their videos for viewers to watch.

In 2010 YouTube started introducing ads to their videos. As audiences started to the importance of the website, others had the opportunity to a living by posting videos and receiving a small part of the money generated from commercials.

In 2012 , the first every video to hit one billion views was Psy's "Gangnam Style" , shortly after the site announced four billion daily video .

Today YouTube offers such as paid movies and live streaming. 300 hours of video are uploaded every minute. In the years ahead , YouTube will remain the most watched video service and it has already replaced television as a major of news.

Layla No, I haven't bought a thing. I've been in town all day, in all kinds of shops, but I haven't managed to find a dress that I like and everything is so expensive too. I was hoping to find something cheap.

Ava Why don't you wait for the sales?

Layla Yeah, I think I'll have to!

Alfie What have you been doing?

Lily Planning my InterRail trip around Europe for next summer.

Alfie That sounds fun. Will it be expensive?

Lily Well, I've been online and found the cheapest rail tickets and camp sites that I can. I've also made a list of all my possible expenses - you know, food and things like that - and I think I should be able to pay for everything if I save up the money from my Saturday job.

Jack Wow, when did you get that new laptop?

Jack It must have been expensive.

Ella It was - although I managed to persuade them to give me a 10% discount because I'm a student! I've been planning to buy it for a while and I spent all my savings on it. I want a good laptop for university and this one's got a really good screen and a lot of memory.

Jack Well, it certainly looks good!

Ben What's the matter, Max?

Max I've splashed out on things that I didn't need and I've had to borrow some money from Lisa to pay for my ticket for next week's concert. Now I'll have to stay in for a few weeks so I can pay her back.

Ben Well, we've got exams soon so you can use the time for revising!

Sam I see you've been to the sales!

Kate I certainly have! I got a pair of shoes that I really liked at half price! I got to the shop early so I'd get them before anybody else saw them.

Kate Although the shop assistant gave me a shock when I went to pay for them. She wanted to charge me full price!

Kate They'd forgotten to put the sales price into the computer, so there was one price on the shoes and another in the computer. Anyway, they sorted it out and I got a bargain!

Worried that your essay lacks structure and coherence? Perhaps you should use linking words, transition words, or connectors to give it a boost.

Linking words join separate sentences to improve writing flow. You can also find them mid-sentence to connect clauses.

Read on as I show you the definition and types of linking words in English. I also list examples of linking words under every category, and I whipped up a helpful worksheet to test your skills.

What Are Linking Words?

Linking words, transition words, or connecting words in the English language help connect ideas and sentences when speaking or writing.

Linking words and phrases are connectors or transitional phrases. They are also part of formal language, so you'll find them in academic writing, opinion writing, critical essays, dialectic essays, journalism, and business documents.

Some linking verbs link clauses within a sentence, such as although, in case, and whatever. That means you can find them in the middle of sentences from time to time. Others link two complete sentences, such as besides, as a result, and however.

List of Transition Words

Now that you know the meaning of transition words, let's look at the usage of transition words in sentences and clauses. Don't worry, I'll break it all down for you!

Below, I've got a list of linking words and phrases to serve as alternative choices for connecting ideas in writing. Note that there are several types of transition words which we will discuss later.

Agreement/Addition/Similarity

Linking words may help the reader understand additional comments or ideas in a statement. They may also express agreement or similarities. These words are also called additive transition words, commonly found in expository essays and narrative essays.

Here are some examples of additive linking words in a sentence.

The group found that a constructivist approach leads to higher test scores. Moreover, essay examinations show higher levels of learning.

The resort has tennis courts. Furthermore, it has an Olympic pool.

Negative Ideas

Some linking words come in pairs to join negative ideas.

Here are sentence examples of linking words showing negative ideas.

I haven't seen Lory, neither have I talked to her friend.

I neither drink nor smoke.

Opposition/Limitation/Contradiction

Whereas some linking words show an extra idea, these transition phrases and words express contrasting ideas in writing.

Here are some sentences with linking words of opposition.

The short story can be analyzed using a functionalist lens. However, its historical theme is better understood with a critical perspective.

As much as I want to go, I must take care of my sister.

Concession

Some linking words show relationships between ideas by accepting an idea with reservation instead of showing complete opposition. Here are some examples.

Here are some sentence examples.

Many citizens opposed this unfair policy, which the president nevertheless enacted.

I like him even if we have different views in life.

Cause/Condition/Purpose

You may also use linking words in your writing piece to show conditions and purpose for a logical flow of ideas. Words like reason get the reader ready to understand why. These words are commonly found in hypothesis essays.

Here are some sentence examples.

The researchers used this method so that the results would be valid, reliable, and aligned with the objectives.

I will not be attending the seminar due to a high fever.

Examples/Support/Emphasis

You can also use transition words in your piece of writing that show examples or support of an idea.

Here are some sentence examples.

She visited several cities, namely Portland, Jacksonville, Charleston, and Hartford.

Transition words improve writing flow. For instance, we use further to add extra ideas related to the previous statement.

Effect/Consequence/Result

You might also spot transitional devices for essays that show consequences, results, and effects.

Consider the examples below.

We watered the plant for seven days. In effect, it grew three inches taller.

Because she didn't study for the test, Anna failed and had to retake it.

Conclusion/Summary/Restatement

These words and phrases show transitions between sentences to show conclusions. You'll find these words in essay conclusions of different essay types.

Note that in lay terms and in explanation are formal alternative choices to " in a nutshell."

Here are some examples.

Matter is a material that occupies space and has mass. In simple language, it is any physical substance.

I don't want to climb the corporate ladder. After all, money isn't everything.

Time/Chronology/Sequence

Linking words' other role in writing is to show sequence or chronology. Under the time category, these phrases add a meaning of time. You can find these words in an essay introduction when the writer explains how the paper is structured.

Here are some sentence examples.

I watched the movie on television. Eventually, I fell asleep.

First, fill the pan with water. Then, bring it to a boil.

Space/Location/Place

The following transition words are famous adverbial expressions that limit or modify space. Some of these words and phrases are also transition words of time.

Below are sentence examples using transition words of space.

My house is located behind the building.

To the left of the supermarket is a flower shop.

Common Mistakes With Transition Words

Transition words help you create a flow of arguments for readers to understand what you're saying. But misused transition words and phrases will make your writing unclear. Avoid these mistakes to give your readers a better experience.

Starting a Sentence With So, And, and Also

Both so and and are coordinating conjunctions, which means they can start independent clauses that stand on their own. But it's not recommended to use these words and also as sentence starters in formal writing. For example:

Incorrect: Also, there are unauthorized charges on my credit card account.

Correct: Furthermore, there are unauthorized charges on my credit card account.

Combination of Transition Words And/Or

When writing an essay, avoid English transition words and/or because it makes your paper look messy. Instead, consider whether you need both connectors or only one of them. If you need them both, try this alternative.

Incorrect: boat and/or plane.

Correct: boat, plane, or both.

Using As Well As as Alternative to And

As well as has a different meaning from the transition word and. And means you're listing something of equal importance. Meanwhile, as well as is for additional, less essential information. Here's an example.

Incorrect: In this paper, I discuss my movie analysis as well as provide recommendations for improvement.

Correct: In this paper, I discuss my movie analysis and provide recommendations for improvement.

Archaic Words

Your writing may not make any sense to readers if you overuse archaic transition words like therewith.

For example, hereby means as a result. We can replace it with more modern and explicit phrasing expressing how the current statement is connected to the previous statement.

Linking Words Summary

A linking word is a term that connects different ideas in your text, whether they are contrasting, supporting, or adding. They can improve your writing and help it flow better, I promise!

Regardless of the style of writing, every piece of writing contains linking words to show perfect transitions. I hope my guide on the definition and list of transitions helps you use these words and phrases correctly. Memorize each category, and don't overuse them in essays.

Grammar test 1

'in spite of', 'despite', 'although', 'even though' and 'though': Grammar test 1

Read the explanation to learn more.

Grammar explanation

Although, even though, in spite of and despite are all used to link two contrasting ideas or show that one fact makes the other fact surprising. They can all be used at the beginning or in the middle of the sentence.

Despite the rain, we enjoyed the festival.
We enjoyed the festival, despite the rain.

The main difference between although, even though, in spite of and despite is that they are used with different structures.

After in spite of and despite, we use a noun, gerund (- ing form of a verb) or a pronoun.

They never made much money, in spite of their success.
In spite of the pain in his leg, he completed the marathon.
Despite having a headache, I had a great birthday.
The train was cancelled. In spite of that, we arrived on time.

Note that it is common to use in spite of and despite with the expression the fact that, followed by a subject and verb.

In spite of the fact that he worked very hard, he didn't pass the exam.
Despite the fact that he worked very hard, he didn't pass the exam.

After although and even though, we use a subject and a verb. Even though is slightly stronger and more emphatic than although.

I enjoyed the course, although I would have liked more grammar practice.
Although we saw each other every day, we didn't really know each other.
Even though she spoke very quietly, he understood every word.
She didn't get the job, even though she had all the necessary qualifications.

Though can be used in the same way as although.

Though I wasn't keen on the film, I thought the music was beautiful.

Though can also go at the end of the second phrase. This way of expressing contrasting ideas is most common in spoken English.

We waited ages for our food. The waiter was really nice, though.

Grammar explanation

We can use modal verbs for deduction - guessing if something is true using the available information. The modal verb we choose shows how certain we are about the possibility. This page focuses on making deductions about the past.

We use must have + past participle when we feel sure about what happened.

Who told the newspapers about the prime minister's plans? It must have been someone close to him.
The thief must have had a key. The door was locked and nothing was broken.
Oh, good! We've got milk. Mo must have bought some yesterday.

We can use might have or may have + past participle when we think it's possible that something happened.

I think I might have left the air conditioning on. Please can you check?
Police think the suspect may have left the country using a fake passport.

May have is more formal than might have. Could have is also possible in this context but less common.

We use can't have and couldn't have + past participle when we think it's not possible that something happened.

She can't have driven there. Her car keys are still here.
I thought I saw Adnan this morning but it couldn't have been him - he's in Greece this week.

Look at these examples to see how we use possessive 's.

Try this exercise to test your grammar.

Read the explanation to learn more.

Grammar explanation

We can use possessive 's to talk about the relationship between people or to say who owns something. Possessive 's always comes after a noun or a name.

We often use possessive 's or s' when we talk about family and friends.

We can also use it to say that something belongs to someone.

When it is one person who owns something, we usually use 's.

It is possible to use more than one possessive in a phrase.

If a name or noun ends in s, we can add either ' or 's. The pronunciation can be /zɪz/ or /sɪz/.

If the thing belongs to more than one person, we usually add ' after the s of the plural noun.

If the plural noun is irregular and doesn't end in s, we add 's.

If something belongs to more than one person, and we give a list of names, the 's comes after the last name in the list.

Remember that s at the end of a word without an apostrophe (') can make it plural, but this doesn't show possession.
