    Well, there is a mistake in your English book. It was a misprint; it should be 'of' or, possibly, 'in'.

    Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
    Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.

    Unfortunately some English text books and some non-native English teachers make mistakes with prepositions. When we were living in France, my daughter (then aged 14) who was and is completely bi-lingual, was marked wrong for saying "I was born in November", the teacher said it should be "on".
