A Sample sentences

Ш We agree with you entirely on the need for additional commitment.

Ш The whole future of this operation depends on a highly skilled workforce.

Ш We look forward to hearing the details of your forthcoming visit.

Ш We have already paid for the services of a tax consultant.

B Form

Prepositional verb phrases take two forms:

 

1 verb + preposition + prepositional object

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the delay.

 

2 verb + preposition + Ving

They succeeded in boosting pre-tax profits.

Note: Where a preposition is followed by a verb, the verb form is always Ving.

C Uses

 

A list of the more common prepositional verbs:

agree to sth conform to sth look for smb/sth
agree with sth consent to sth look forward to sth

amount to sth depend on sth refer to sth
apologise for sth hear about sth rely on smb/sth

approve of smb/sth hope for sth wait for smb/sth
attend to smb/sth insist on sth think of sth (= consider)

Note

We do not use a preposition after these verbs:

answer discuss reach
ask1 enter suit
call/phone/ring meet2 tell

ask1

Excuse me. I'd like to ask you a question, please.

cf. I'd like to ask you for some more information. (you = indirect object; ask for' = prepositional verb)

We are to meet with a delegation from China. (AmE)
