Typical Mistakes: Preposition ON

Česte su pogreške pri upotrebi prijedloga u engleskom jeziku kod stranih govornika. Razlog tome je što se upotreba određenog prijedloga nastoji poistovjetiti sa upotrebom sličnog u vlastitom maternjem jeziku, što je pogrešno.

Tipične pogreške pri upotrebi prijedloga ON su vidljive iz sljedećih primjera:

She was standing on the bus-station.

On[1] the picture you can see my grandfather.

She spent three hours on the sun.

My cousins live on the North (South, West, East).

Our teacher told us the story on English.

There are lots of cars on the street.

Ispravna bi bila upotreba prijedloga AT i IN u navedenim rečenicama:

She was standing at the bus-stop[2].

In the picture you can see my grandfather.

She spent three hours in the sun.

My cousins live in the North (South, West, East).

Our teacher told us the story in English.

There are lots of cars in the street.

Ne zaboravite!
