7.7 Adjectives plus prepositions

As in Catalan, many adjectives in English can be followed by a prepositional phrase, e.g.:

Barry is pleased with his results.
(En Barry està content amb els resultants.)

Are you afraid of spiders?
(Tens por de les aranyes?)

I'm tired of his complaints.
(Estic fart de les seves queixes.)

As always, a verb after a preposition must be the –ing form, e.g.:

Are you afraid of falling?
(Tens por de caure?)

I'm tired of hearing him complain.
(Estic fart de sentir-lo queixar-se.)

For individual adjectives, refer to a dictionary.
