Hi teachers,
I would be grateful if you would explain the differences in usage between advantage of and advantage in/to to me. Please take a look at the following examples from Unit 129 of English Grammar in Use by Raymond Murphy.
1. The advantage of living alone is that you can do what you like.
2. There are many advantages in/to living alone.
They make sense to me, but I can't seem to be able to explain why I can't use these prepositions interchangeably.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
