What’s wrong with these sentences?

  • - They aren’t aware about the problem.
  • - She’s married with a journalist.
  • - Who’s responsible of this project?
  • - I’m not satisfied in the product.

The answer? They’re all using an INCORRECT preposition after the adjectives.

The correct sentences are:

  • - They aren’t aware of the problem.
  • - She’s married to a journalist.
  • - Who’s responsible for this project?
  • - I’m not satisfied with the product.

Little mistakes like these can make it obvious you’re not a native English speaker - so today I’m going to help you avoid them by teaching you some common combinations of adjectives and prepositions.
