A dependent preposition is a preposition that always follows the same expression; for example, we say 'interested in' and not 'interested on' or 'interested about'. As we saw in the previous two episodes, dependent prepositions can depend on a verb or adjective, as well as a noun. There are dependent prepositions which go before certain nouns and others that go after certain nouns.
