Collocations of the form verb + preposition are tricky, because there is no simple rule that makes them easy. In fact - just like a lot of things in languages - you have to learn these things by heart. Here are just a handful of examples (there are a lot more out there!):
to | for | on | about | with | in |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
adapt to new circumstances | apologise for being late | agree on a decision | think about the decision | agree with a friend | believe in God |
belong to the team | apply for a job | concentrate on a task | worry about the job | cover with a sheet | result in a profit |
listen to music | search for a website | comment on an action | forget about the milk | deal with a problem | succeed in learning English |
refer to an email | wait for the postman | rely on a colleague | care about somebody | compare him with her | participate in a race |
