- I am looking for a work (dictionary?) which is solely dedicated
- on usage of verbs. I am particularly interested in detailed,
- comprehensive (as far as possible) list of prepositions used with
- every particular verb. I assume also that such a work should be
- completed with a rich collection of examples. Good dictionaries,
- today, include just few examples of prepositions used with par-
- ticular verbs.
-
- I am not a native speaker in English (and neither in German), and
- I was impressed with the usefulness of such a work in German dur-
- ing my high school years. I think every non-native speaker in En-
- glish has to have such a reference in one's hand when one writes
- anything seriously in English.
-
- Thank you very much for your interest and time.
