English grammar practice for adjective and preposition combinations.
Students correct wrong prepositions or leave the gap empty when the original preposition is correct.
The exercise practises conscious of, married to, crowded with, sure about, ashamed of,
capable of, engaged to, critical of, good at, keen on, full of, independent of and certain of.
