<p>What about this one
He fought to end slavery
He fought for the end of slavery or against slavery etc.
In other words. Can I do fought to.</p>
<p>Also these
He objected against being a doctor
He objected to being a doctor
And
He accidentaily mistook (past form of mistake?) him as a sailor
He accidentaily mistook him for a sailor.</p>
<p>Sorry for TP but
He wondered at how big it was
He wondering about how big it was.</p>
<p>he fought for</p>
<p>objected against</p>
<p>mistook him for a sailor</p>
<p>wondering about makes no sense ata ll. He wondered at how big it was. Makes a little bit more sense.</p>
<p>Lol thanks for the alacrity to which you answered my questions ![]()
Also these LAST 3. (feel free to add any that you guys want)
He partook in the study
He partook of the study
Ok I know this above one may be simply the first one but on this one site it says partake OF is the correct idiom.
He was a threat to the US
He was a threat of the US.
Again same prob. as last one. I think its first… but the site says 2nd.
He planned on robbing me
He planned to rob me</p>
<p>He partook in the study</p>
<p>hmmm thats interesting. i doubt the site is right then.</p>
<p>He was a threat to the US</p>
<p>He planned to rob me</p>
<p>the site might not be a reliable source</p>
<p>its that flashcards.net or something.</p>
<p>actually both could be right. Depends on what your saying.</p>
<p>He partook in the study
He partook of the study</p>
<p>except this one is “in” for sure.</p>
<p>He was a threat to the US
He was a threat of the US.</p>
<p>but this might be both</p>
<p>He fought to end slavery is right. “To end” is an infinitive; “to” is not part of the idiom “fought.”</p>
<p>Also, “objected to” is correct.</p>
<p>What about this one
He had a desire to eat chocolate
HE had a desire for chocolate.</p>
<p>And this one. he guessed at the question. He guessed on the question.</p>
