Welcome to the forums. Can you give a sample sentence containing "in preparation of"?Quote:

I guess with of it means that the preparation is part of the result, like "in preparation of a meal", but in this case Iīm not sure...
Do I make myself clear? Waiting for your reply...
Use "for".Quote:

I might say:
1) "I am involved in the preparation of a birthday surprise for my friend's birthday."
but
2) "I am involved in the preparations for my friend's birthday.,
i. e. in 1) you are actually preparing the surprise now, whereas in 2) you are preparing for something in the future.
Hope this helps

Hi all:
I have been confused about the usage of expressions: in+n. Such as, in preparation, in use etc.
Can I say "I am in preparation of this project" or "I am preparing for the project"? Which one is correct? What is the logic when "in preparation" is properly used in a sentence?
Similarly, shall I say "I am in use of the book" or "I am using the book'?
Thank you!
