⭐️Free From VS. Free Of⭐️
📗1- Free (Adjective). Free from is generally used when the word that follows the preposition denotes something which is thought of as an assailant; e.g. free from danger, free from pain, free from troubles, keep free from colds and influenza. Free of suggests a state or situation resulting from the removal of the thing in question: 'All the main roads are now free of obstructions'. It may also means 'exempt from', as free of charge, free of income tax, free of duty.
📙2- Free (Verb). When free means 'liberate' it is followed by from (free one from prison, from captivity, from the wreckage of a train, aeroplanes, etc.). When it means 'relieve' it usually takes of (free one of a task, of responsibility for something).

⭐️BENEATH (as a preposition)⭐️
📕1 - Under (though the one word cannot always replace the other. See below).
▶️The wrecked vessel disappeared beneath the waves.
▶️They sheltered beneath their umbrellas.
▶️He wore a woolen vest beneath his shirt.
📙2 - At a lower level than.
▶️The step beneath this one is not very safe.
📘3 - Inferior to.
▶️As writers of tragedy, most of the other Elizabethan dramatists are far beneath Shakespeare.
🔺Hence to marry beneath one :to marry a person who is one's social inferior.
📒4 - At the foot of.
▶️There was a flower border beneath the wall.
📗5 - As a result of.
▶️He staggered beneath the blow.
▶️The shelf was beginning to sag beneath the weight of the books upon it.
📕6 - Unworthy of.
▶️I could never stoop to such conduct as that ; I should consider it beneath me.
▶️Such a fellow as that is beneath my notice.
🔺Hence beneath contempt : so vile or despicable as to be unworthy even of contempt.
▶️I shall not reply to such a scurrilous attack upon me ; it is beneath contempt.
📚While beneath and under are often unchangeable, the one, as pointed out above, cannot always be replaced by the other. A person can be under the influence of drink, but not beneath the influence of drink. We can say that someone whom we despise is 'beneath notice' but not 'under notice', while conversely a person who has been given notice terminating his employment at some specific time in the future is 'under notice', but not 'beneath notice'. We may say that a foreman has twenty men under him, but not beneath him, or that a minor is a person who is under twenty-one, but not beneath twenty-one. Even when the reference is to location in space, the two words do not mean quite the same thing. Fowler (Modern English Usage) said that beneath is merely a poetic or emotional substitute for under, and sometimes this is may be so, but it is only half the truth. Beneath merely expresses the position of one thing relative to another; under represents one thing as being superimposed upon another. A cat was sleeping beneath the table merely draws attention to the position of the cat. A cat was sleeping under the table draws our attention first and foremost to the table, and only secondarily to the cat which is sleeping under the shelter of it.

📚The use of a to-infinitive and a -ing form after some verbs.📚
📘Begin, start, continue and cease can be followed by a to- infinitive or by an -ing form.Very often, it doesn't matter which form we use, e.g. 'Everybody started to laugh/laughing.' However, a to-infinitive is more common and there are two situations in which an -ing form is either unusual or incorrect.
🔻1- After the -ing form of begin, start, continue and cease, we use a to-infinitive. We avoid having two -ing forms together. Compare: 'The grass had started + to turn/turning brown.' ' the grass was starting + to turn brown.' (NOT turning)
🔻2- When the following verb refers to a mental activity or to a feeling (e.g. think, understand, see, realize, believe, feel), we normally use a to-infinitive. Compare: 'She began to hit/hitting Adam with one of her shoes. 'I begin + to think she didn't like him.' (NOT thinking)

📚When For You Does Not Mean For You📚🤔
📘🔺 In colloquial English, for you is sometimes appended to a statement in order to emphasize it or to draw attention to the thing in question. It is not the equivalent of a direct object, and dose not mean that the thing in question is intended for the person concerned.
▶️ There are some fine apples for you!
(The meaning amounts to something like, 'Don't you think those are fine apples?')
