sandranelson196 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I'm learning something here. Which is a little embarrassing and very exciting. Can prepositions really be multiple words? Apparently yes. But what about the list of 52 prepositions that I've been looking at for years? Isn't that list definitive? Again, apparently not. As the old French expression goes: Je dormirai moins bete ce soir! (i'll go to sleep less stupid tonight!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
