Prepositions in Verbal Regency

Through the text "Verbal Regency” you could understand a little more about the characteristics related to verbal conducting. From now on, he will further expand his knowledge about the use of prepositions in this matter (verbal rulership).

Remember we talked about the indirect object? Of course, because some verbs need to be complemented, but with the use of the preposition, right?

Thus, so that the importance of using it in verbal regency is very clear, look at the examples below:

That's the boy I trust.

Now how? If when we trust, do we trust someone?

So, pay close attention: what is missing in this prayer for it to become correct, adequate? Obviously you've already figured it out: the preposition. So, reformulating, we have:

That's the EM boy I trust.

Let's go to another example?

This was the book I needed.

Analyze if you agree: Who needs, needs something, isn't it? So, notice:

This was the DE book I needed.

That was the subject I referred to in the previous class.

In the same way, we ask you: when we reference, we are referring to something, isn't it true? So, watch the change:

That was subject A I referred to in the previous class.
