The Oxford Dictionary of Current Idiomatic English records and describes 15 000 English idioms, and is the most comprehensive and systematic analysis available of this complex area of English usage. Verbs with Prepositions and Particles concentrates on explaining expressions containing a verb and a preposition and/or an adverbial particle-for examples, break down, be in on, keep an eye on. Each entry is referred to a detailed grammatical scheme of sentence patterns which are illustrated in each entry by examples from modern speech and writing. Stylistic values are indicated and unusual features of grammar and usage are explained. An index of the nouns, adjectives and adverbs used in head-phrases, and an index of possible nominalized forms are also provided.
