Hello?
I have been learning English for a couple of years and I have a question to ask.
I learned that prepositions should be followed by noun phrases, gerunds, clauses with "whether" or interogatives.
But is it okay if I put "that clauses" after prepositions?
For example,
1) I'm worried about the replacement of A by B.
2) I'm worried about whether B replaces A.
3) I'm worried about A being replaced by B.
4) I'm worried about what might replace A.
5) I'm worried about that B would replace A.
In the term of grammar, I think 5) doesn't seem okay, but I have found so many examples using this pattern through "Google."
I'm really curious but in trouble. Thanks in advance.
