Using the wrong preposition: This is the most common error when it comes to prepositions. For example, saying “I’m going to the store on my car” instead of “I’m going to the store in my car.”

Omitting prepositions: Sometimes, people forget to include a necessary preposition in a sentence. For example, saying “I’m going the store” instead of “I’m going to the store.”

Using prepositions incorrectly with verbs: Certain verbs require specific prepositions to be used correctly. For example, saying “I’m waiting for my friend in the airport” instead of “I’m waiting for my friend at the airport.”

Confusing similar prepositions: Some prepositions have similar meanings but are used in different contexts. For example, using “in” instead of “on” when talking about transportation (e.g., “I’m on the bus” instead of “I’m in the bus”).

Using prepositions unnecessarily: Sometimes, people use prepositions when they are not needed in a sentence. For example, saying “I’m going to the store to buy for some groceries” instead of “I’m going to the store to buy groceries.”

Using prepositions with the wrong verb tense: Certain prepositions are used with specific verb tenses. Using the wrong verb tense can lead to incorrect preposition usage. For example, saying “I have been to the party yesterday” instead of “I went to the party yesterday.”

Using prepositions incorrectly with adjectives: Some adjectives require specific prepositions to be used correctly. For example, saying “I’m interested on learning French” instead of “I’m interested in learning French.”

Using prepositions incorrectly with time expressions: Prepositions are often used to indicate time, and using them incorrectly can lead to errors. For example, saying “I will meet you on Monday” instead of “I will meet you on Monday morning.”

Using prepositions incorrectly with location: Prepositions are also used to indicate location, and using them incorrectly can lead to errors. For example, saying “The book is in the table” instead of “The book is on the table.”

Using prepositions incorrectly with certain phrases: Some phrases have specific prepositions that should be used with them. Using the wrong preposition can result in an error. For example, saying “I’m looking forward to meet you” instead of “I’m looking forward to meeting you.”
