Features: The phrases collected in this manual are presented in simple English-Chinese bilinguinal definitions or explanations. Each word is illustrated with one to three examples, which are typical and representative, progressing from simple to complex. The examples are often famous quotes, witty expressions, or excerpts from renowned literary works, making them easy to understand and master. While learning English, readers can also appreciate the truth of life and the philosophy of social conduct, as well as broaden their knowledge in many other fields, achieving multiple benefits. This manual is divided into two parts. Part 1 covers prepositional phrases with prepositions placed at the beginning; Part 2 covers comprehensive phrases with prepositions placed in the middle or at the end, both arranged in alphabetical order of English letters. This manual does not include verb-preposition collocations. The above six types of collocations belong to the comprehensive study of English prepositional phrases, which is rarely encountered in domestic research on English prepositional phrases. Any reference to idiomatic expressions related to prepositions can be found in this manual. This manual is suitable for undergraduate, junior college, graduate students, English teachers, and other English learners, both majors and non-majors.
