Prepositions after Nouns

Some nouns are followed by specific prepositional phrases to complete their meanings. For example, you say “I have an interest in astronomy,” but you say “I have a passion for astronomy." The noun determines which preposition you must use (interest in, passion for) with some change in meaning. Sometimes multiple prepositions can be used with the same noun (e.g., excitement about, excitement for) Learn more about prepositions (link opens in a new tab).
