Help the eccentric roommate complete their dramatic email by dragging the correct prepositions into the blanks.
Dear Alex,
I must apologize for the sudden invasion of plastic garden gnomes in our living room. I know you strongly object to having lawn ornaments indoors. However, I insist on keeping them here, as I have finally succeeded in training them to guard the TV remote from the cat.
Yours truly, Sam
I must apologize for the sudden invasion...
We use "apologize for" when expressing regret about an action or a situation. (We use "apologize to" when referring to the person receiving the apology).
I know you strongly object to having lawn ornaments indoors.
The verb "object" is followed by the preposition "to" when expressing disagreement or disapproval.
However, I insist on keeping them here...
The verb "insist" pairs with the preposition "on" (followed by an -ing verb or a noun) when demanding that something happen.
...as I have finally succeeded in training them...
We use "succeed in" followed by a gerund (-ing) to talk about achieving a desired result.
