Adjectives and Prepositions
Adjectives are often followed by infinitives or prepositions when we talk about feelings or
how we react to people/things. (Cris, 2013)
THE USE OF “IN”
We use the preposition IN in many cases such as:
In the future to express that an action will occur after that amount of time:
 in a few weeks
With months, years and periods of time such as decades or centuries:
 in January
With static (non-movement) verbs and cities, countries, states, etc.:
 stay in the USA
 work in New York
THE USE OF “FROM”
From is used to refer:
PLACE: Used to show the place where someone or something starts moving or traveling:
 He took a handkerchief from his pocket.
She ran away from home.
TIME: Used to show the time when something starts or the time when it was made or first
existed:
Here’s a song from the 60s.

2. Adjectives followed by the prepositions IN and FROM
We use the preposition IN after the adjective, when I want to refer to places, activities or time.
We use this preposition to do stronger our expression or what we want to say. Example:
 I am involved in a great project of my school.
 I am interested in knowing that beautiful girl.
 Peter is successful in his job.
We use FROM following an adjective when we want to do a difference between one thing
from another, it is similar to a comparative, but in this case we use the preposition FROM.
Example:
 In my home, Cris is safe from all problems that she has had in this day.
 Why Paul is absent from classes today? I do not know teacher.
 I am tired from all these assignments.
