Preposition Why some article already define the prepositions in the sentences? Why do you say "I'm on the faculty"? why not in the faculty? on the board/on the committee/ on faculty in the group should I familiarise them or it has rules? he explained some of the most successful strategies for reducing expenses in corporations. why the preposition is "in" not "of". I cannot distinguish the differences of prepositions which is related to possessions. Do you know the best way how to learn them?

It's disgusting because you are teaching people that do not know how botched up your grammar is! If you are going to teach these people you should make an effort to teach yourself! "I don't its anything" You edited it; however, you did not correct that? You either didn't see it or you should not teach these people! ". But I still think"! "That's very rude, Joseph; I still think you are wrong." This is not a YouTube comment. It is a language learning website for heavens sake! You do not put coordinating conjunctions at the beginning of a sentence. Again, this is not a YouTube comment where no one really gives a shit. You're making the journey for thousands harder than it already is. Yes I have a hot temper with some things, but do you have a strong argument to counter mine? Even before I came to this site I started looking up everything I had the slightest doubt with. Right now I'm on Purdue OWL checking if I used and punctuated the word however correctly. Not to badger you, but to make sure I don't undermine my work. I originally used the word yet, but I was reminded from my research that it's the Y in FANBOYS.

Okay. That's very rude Joseph. But I still think you are wrong. I don't its anything to get "disgusted" by though. Actually. It feels like you are trolling me... But in case I caused any confusion, my point was simply that abstract terms like "corporation" or strategy" can be used in either possessive sense and so it is more important to remember the relationship that the preposition represents, and how that works with the way you are using the objects to the preposition, rather than standard relationships between the objects.

You are an idiot, Peter. You do not say "This strategy's corporation is not being funded enough." No one says that. "This strategy's corporation" is wrong. Because, a strategy cannot own a corporation! " "This corporation's strategy is not funded enough" is correct. It really pisses me off that you're teaching this garbage. First, you're on this site, of all places, where people come to learn standard English. Second, It looks like you need to go back to school for basic grammar lessons, but here you are! Teaching! You disgust me. I don't know where you got this bullshit from, but cite it. Last, look up what a run-on sentence is.

I thought of maybe a good example. "He is in the club" The club could be a group that he is a member of or it could be a dance hall. So its possible that its a physical location that he is inside of. And "club" groups usually have clubhouses so that's why "in" is used, that association with a physical location that one can be inside of. "He is a member of the club" "member of" is often used. "He is on the club roster" His name is written on the piece of paper listing club members.
