    Default be aware of

    We call on people to be aware of how severe the situation is and do something about it.

    Shall I have the preposition"of" in front of a "how"-clause?

    Thanks!
    Jason

    I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.

    You should.

    This is more natural to me.

    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.
    If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.
