Please help me with this exerciese: fill in the gap with one appropriate preposition :The teacher …… whom I’ve heard so much, gave an extremely interesting lecture.
I don't know what should be used? "of" or " about"?
i think it should be "about".
To determine the correct preposition to use in this sentence, we need to understand the relationship between the words involved. In this case, we are talking about the teacher, whom you have heard a lot about, giving a lecture.
The correct preposition to use in this context is "about."
To understand this, you can break down the sentence: "The teacher about whom I've heard so much, gave an extremely interesting lecture."
In this sentence, "about" indicates that the information you have heard pertains to the teacher. It shows the relationship between the speaker, the teacher, and the information heard.
So, the correct answer is: "The teacher about whom I’ve heard so much, gave an extremely interesting lecture."
