a request

You are here: Home / Blog / a request

I was asked recently by a student to write another preposition article ____  the Smith’s Hirakata soapbox blog, so here goes.

about / on / with / of / to / over / in / from / at / for / into

Things that make my wife go Argh!….

No, She’s not a pirate. Well, ___ be honest. I’m not exactly sure what it is that I do ___ A DAILY BASIS that seems ____ make my wife find small faults ____ me. Hum, maybe it’s just the life ____ a husband. I’m just not sure. I’ve been thinking _____ this a lot lately. Maybe it’s because I don’t make the bed, unless asked ____ do so. Maybe it’s because I make small messes all _____ the house. Maybe it’s because when I do help her ______the housework I don’t do it right. Again, I’m not sure, but maybe it’s because when she arrives home _____ work, I greet her _____  the door with screams of.. “THE MAID’S HOME! THE MAID’S HOME!”. I’m just so confused ______what the problem could be. Do you have any ideas or advice _____me? It just seems that I’m always getting _____ trouble. It’s true. I’m always ____ the doghouse, and at this rate I’ll get _____ trouble before this article is even posted. You watch and see.
