Prepositional verbs Hello everyone! I am studying prepositional verbs and I have a lot of doubts. In my opinion, it is difficult to master them due to there aren't rules to follow. Anyway, I wanted to ask you about them. For example, when we use the verb "to listen", do we need always put the preposition "to" after it? I want to know if there are some cases in which we use "listen" without "to" after. Thank you in advance!

Could you help me with these sentences? I have read the next sentence: For a star the size of ours, ... I would have written: For a star of the size of ours, ... Maybe it is a mistake without sense but do you know if the second sentence is well written too?

Is it possible to think without language? Seemingly, thoughts are embedded in humans but in my opinion, the thoughts embedded in humans are just impressions, emotions, moods... Every time I talk to myself (in my mind), I am using language unless it is a irrational thought such as rage or joy, but the truth is I don't know if I am really thinking in those cases. Thinking requires concepts and sometimes, we link imagens with concepts as when we have a picture in our mind about a particular place but we don't remenber where it was. But they are simple thoughts and if we want to think about something complicated as how we are going to pay every debt we have, in my opinion, our mind isn't prepared to link good enough imagenes with concepts our to understand these concepts by itself. So, it is sure we need language to develope our society though thoughts but it is because our minds are not too smart to understand concepts without language or our minds are so smart as for creating languages that allow us to describe the concepts.

Doing sports help me to work and be better. Since some weeks ago, I have been very busy because of my work. Also, I have been trying to read about some master degrees to study one the next year and improve my English in my free time but at the end, apart from working, I haven't improved my English nor read about the degrees. With the purpose of having time for these three things, I have reordered my schedule and I have added a fourth thing, doing sport. At the beggining I thought that either it was a good idea or I will lose the money of the gym, and the truth is I hadn't a big hope in taking the gym seriously. However, I am in the second week after my change of schedule and I feel I take more advantage of the time than before. I am more motivated so, if you feel stagnant I recommend you to do sport. It will help you with your mood and to work better.
