1. ADJECTIVES FOLLOWED BY ABOUT and AT
The preposition About and AT are used after the adjective when there is a complement that
follow them.For example the word "excited” that is an adjective can be used alone, if the idea
ends using that adjective like the following example.
A) James is going to have a baby. He is exited.
However If we have a complement after of adjective we must put a preposition like in the
following example.
B) Raul is very exited about his baby.
Then we look the bolt examples and we must to understand that always we have a complement is
necessary to use the preposition this is the reason for why these are called composed adjectives
and simply we must to learn their combination.
Also is important to know that the composed adjective adding an action is used the form ING of
verb for example:
C) Raul is excited about having his baby.
That is because always that express an action or that use a verb after a preposition we put the
ING form.
EXAMPLES.
James is very amazed
James is very annoyed at his bad grades.
