Dear Moderators, isn't it surprising that you people are still silent about a common word? I'm still waiting for the answer.Originally Posted by dawoodusmani

Race + what? Hi teachers!
How do you use the verb "race" in a sentence? Does it take a preposition before the person or object? If yes, which preposition?
Regards!

Re: Race + what? As you well know, Dawood, we always get there in the end. It's a race for time at this end. Originally Posted by dawoodusmani

Re: Race + what? Thanks for your care but I've been in this forum longer than you and people out here very well know how friendly I am. The way I talked above is sometimes the way to attract immediate attention of others, at least in my locality. Well, I've always been friendly and respectful because I know that teachers are the most important members of our community as teachers build the nation. I hope this clears the misconception you by mistake developed about myself. Originally Posted by meez

Re: Race + what? All three, in the right context, are correct.
The most commonly used are #1 and #3; #2 would say that you are racing together, not against each other.
