What is the reason that the presence or absence of the preposition 'in' doesn't affect the meaning?
Thanks! |
This is a good point.
They have difficulty making decisions=they are in the process of making decisions and have difficulty.
They have difficulty in making decisions=they are not necessarilly in the process of doing it. You sometimes have to use
"in" though.
They have difficulty
in finance.
