Spot the errorI began to get A) 'interest' in my case, and determined to B) 'sift' it C) 'to' D) 'the bottom'.
Correct answer: A. 'interest'
- A. 'interest'
- B. 'sift
- C. to
- D. 'the bottom
Explanation
The correct form is "interested in my case", not "interest in my case". The phrase "interest in my case" is incorrect because the adjective "interested" should be used instead of the noun "interest". The other options are grammatically correct.

About Prepositions
Prepositions link a noun or pronoun to the rest of the sentence, showing place, time, direction or relation. The difficulty is idiomatic rather than logical: English fixes particular prepositions to particular verbs and adjectives, so “good at,” “married to” and “differ from” have to be learned as units rather than reasoned out.
