❗️❗️Commonly confused prepositions ❗️❗️
📌 About and On
Both about and on can mean ‘regarding’. There is a slight difference of meaning.
🔍Compare:
🔘We had a discussion about money.
🔘He gave a lecture on finance.
About used in the first sentence suggests that the discussion was ordinary.
On used in the second sentence suggests that the lecture was serious or academic, suitable for specialists.
📌 Above and over
Above and over can both mean ‘higher than’.
🔘The water came up above / over our waist.
Above is preferred when one thing is not directly over another.
🔘There is a temple above the lake. (The temple is not directly over the lake.)
Over is preferred when one thing covers or touches another.
🔘He put on a sweater over his shirt. (NOT He put on a sweater above his shirt.)
In measurements of temperature and height we use above. In measurements of ages and speeds we use over.
🔘The temperature never rose above 5 degrees Celsius.
You have to be over 18 to see that film.
📌 Across and through
The difference between across and through is similar to the difference meaningon and in.
Through is used for movement in a three dimensional space, with things on all sides. Across cannot be used with that meaning.
🔍Compare:
🔘We went through the wood. (We were in the wood.)
🔘The road goes through the forest.
🔘We walked across the desert. (We were on the desert.)
Across and over can both be used to mean ‘on the other side of a line / road / bridge etc’.
🔘There is a hospital across / over the border. (= There is a hospital on the other side of the border.)
🔘His shop is across / over the road. (= His shop is on the other side of the road.)
Across and over can also be used to talk about movement to the other side of a line / road etc.
🔘He jumped across / over the stream.
We prefer over when we say ‘on/to the other side of something high’.
🔘He climbed over the wall. (NOT He climbed across the wall.)
We prefer across when we say ‘on / to the other side of something flat’.
🔘We swam across the river. (NOT We swam over the river.)
📌Along
The preposition along is used with nouns that refer to things with a long thin shape. Examples are: road, river, corridor, line
🔘She ran along the road.
🔘There are trees along the riverside.
📌 Along and through
To talk about periods or activities, we prefer through.
🔘She was silent all through the journey. (NOT She was silent all along the journey.)
Note that along can also be used as an adverb particle.
Come along. (= Come with me.)

Almost or nearly?
⚠️We use almost and nearly to refer to the progress of things, especially if we are measuring and counting things. In these examples, almost and nearly can both be used:
✨Don’t give up! You’re almost there.
✨It’s time for bed. It’s nearly 10 o’clock.
✨Their CD has sold almost 90,000 copies in the last week.
✨Nearly all my friends were in the photograph.
⚠️We also use almost and nearly with extreme adjectives such as perfect, impossible or frozen:
✨That guy is almost impossible.
✨The chicken is still nearly frozen. I thought you’d taken it out of the freezer.
⚠️We use almost (but not nearly) to soften statements:
✨I almost wish I hadn’t offered to pay his fine.
⚠️We use almost before any and before negative words such as no, none, never, nobody, nothing. We don’t use nearly in this way:
✨Using this special software, you can find the history of almost any building.
✨They’ve almost no confidence that they can use the new phone properly.
✨She almost never raises her voice.
📍Not: She nearly never raises her voice.
