As preposições em inglês são geralmente usadas antes de substantivos e pronomes. Elas não possuem exatamente regras de uso, mas são combinadas com as palavras que as antecedem. Sempre que usar “talk”, por exemplo, virá a preposição “about”, assim como “learned about”, entre outros exemplos.
Exemplos:
Conceal from / graduated from / infer from
know about / concern about / think about
speak to / invited to / belong to
depend on / insist on / rely on
run after / named after /
