Knowing how to use prepositions correctly shows your mastery of the language. This post is about the common errors in the use of prepositions. Since and For Since means ‘from a point of time in the past’. It should be used with the present perfect tense. He has been ill since last week. (He fell ill two weeks ago and has been ill ever since. He is still ill.) It has been raining continuously since yesterday morning. (It is still raining.) Don’t use the simple present or present continuous tense with since. It is wrong to say ‘He is ill since last week’ or ‘It is raining since yesterday morning’. For is used to refer to a period of time. It shows duration. He has been ill for two weeks. It...

Correct: She has been working since morning. Here the error lies in using the present continuous instead of present perfect continuous. The present continuous tense is used to talk about an action that is going on at the time of speaking. Here the emphasis is simply on the continuity of the action. The present perfect continuous is used to talk about an action which started...

On February 8th 2010 I went to a mall with Epica, the real intentions is I want to meet her to discuss about our blog, this blog. I want to add a BGM (Background Music) so this blog wouldn't be so "silent" and I decided to use "Chrono Cross OST - Reminiscence" as our BGM. When we are at a food court, my cellphone is vibrating (I use Vibrate Mode to conserve battery use, as my battery is "leaked" so I couldn't make a call for a long duration) and when I answer it, the voice on the otherside were informing me that I had a job interview from PT Megatama Informatika on February 9th 2010 (a.k.a the next day) located at Sampoerna Strategic Square, Tower 8, 21th Floor and appointed to meet Mrs. PB...
