- @Equinox: where can I find some guidelines regarding the addition of multiword expressions? --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:27, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Backinstadiums: I don't know. I think you ask a very good question because an important part of speaking "native-like" English is getting the prepositions right. (You could absorb the whole dictionary of words but still say something like "I was in a party" which is just not right; you are at a party.) However I don't think we can fix this with individual word entries. Perhaps we need WikiGrammar? Why not start a discussion on WT:BP? Equinox ◑ 01:36, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
