Error #7
Check your draft by circling all the prepositions and making certain they are the
ones you meant to use, because specific prepositions express specific relationships.
Many words in English are regularly used with a particular preposition to express a particular
meaning. Because many prepositions are short and are not stressed or pronounced clearly in speech,
they are often left out accidentally in writing. Proofread carefully, and check a dictionary when
you're not sure about the preposition to use.
