1. Common Dependent Prepositions with Adjectives

English adjectives take fixed dependent prepositions. Crucial pairs to memorize: interested IN, responsible FOR, capable OF, aware OF, similar TO, different FROM.

Avoid literal translations from Italian. For instance, 'dipendente da' translates to 'dependent ON' (not 'from'), and 'consapevole di' translates to 'aware OF'.
