En
muchos
de los
casos
las

inglesas no se

con sus
homologas de otros idiomas.

English prepositions are perhaps one of the
most
difficult points
of the
English language
for
those
who

athorough

of the

Very often English prepositions do not
correspondto
their
homologues inother
languages.
I am
waiting
for
Peter.
Estoyesperandoa Pedro.
In
other
cases,
there
may be a
preposition
in
one language where there is no preposition in
the
other language.
