TO, ON, ABOUT: Prepositions of behavior in English

source: JamesESL English Lessons (engVid) 2017年11月8日
I know prepositions can be confusing and difficult for people learning English. Even people who have been learning English for many years and who have huge vocabularies and great grammar, still find it difficult to know when to use each preposition. One of the best ways to learn prepositions is to learn them in context. That means you learn the meaning of the preposition when it's used in a particular situation. Today, I am going to teach you about the prepositions "to", "on", and "about". We're going to focus on their usage with adjectives in sentences about behaviour -- that means the way someone acts. First we'll learn what these prepositions mean when talking about behaviour, then I'll teach you some common collocations that use these prepositions, and finally, we will test your understanding with some example sentences. Improve your grammar, comprehension, and English speaking confidence by watching this video.

No, you're not dreaming... At least, not yet! Prepare yourself to start learning English during your sleep! Binaural beats are specifically meant for sleep learning. Also get your PDF gifts to learn when not sleeping: https://goo.gl/nmx8MT
Sleep-aided learning functions more like a support system to the waking brain—reinforcing knowledge but not substituting your daytime study hours.
You won't learn English by ONLY watching this video, but it will help you through passive learning.
Binaural beats, used in the video, are claimed to improve learning, encourage sleep learning, improve our ability to remember specific words and finally to improve memory and help process newly absorbed information. The combination of these 3 specific frequencies is hugely powerful. There are played in the correct order allowing for complete processing, understanding and most importantly memorizing.
