Olá Davi,

Existem termos em inglês que às vezes enganam quanto a preposição,nesta lista existem exemplos deles.Deve-se observar esta lista para se ter um inglês coerente com os padrões naturais.É claro que fora da lista existem algumas outras possibilidades que podem ser aprendidas mais tarde.Vale lembrar que o contexto também é importante.

Mais um exemplo:Dependent on/upon:Dependente de>>NÃO se deve usar "of" neste caso.


Boa sorte!
