Hi Guys,

I often get confused over prepositions. Could you please let me know how to practice that. Also, please cite some examples to clear the usage of " worried about" and "worried over".

The idioms list in Manhattan sentence correction guide is an excellent collection.

I believe "worried about" is correct but "worried over" is wrong idiomatic usage.

It is so frustrating that the GMAT insists that "worried over" is wrong, because it definitely is in common usage in American English and has a meaning distinct from that of "worried about."

"Her mother is worried about her" means something is wrong with the daughter, right now!

"Her mother worries over her" means that the mother is the kind of person who worries a lot, because she cares. The daughter is probably fine.

I hope that helps!

(But yes, on the GMAT, just say "worried about").
