When should I use "Of"?

**ysc1230** · 27-Aug-2011, 05:22

I think I don't know when I should use the preposition "of" in a sentence.

I would appreciate it if someone could correct my sentences, and tell me what time I should use "of" and when time should not. Thanks.

1) I can not fulfil the job requirements.

2) I can not fulfil the requirements of the job.

They mean the same thing.. (2) probably gives emphasis to 'requirements'.

I would use 'of' with phrases e.g.:

technical requirements of the job

would be preferable to

job technical requirements.

not a teacher.

Therefore, there is no mistake with of or without of to all my sentences???

No. It's a matter of preference.

And please use one question mark only.
