Hi teachers,
I have searched worth in many dictionaries and sites such as onelook and fraze-it and also the previous threads of this forum to get a better understanding. I am still having doubt though.
"Someone or something is worth this much." This is okay. I can understand.
"It is worth or not worth doing something." This is also okay. I can understand.
"It's worth it." But I don't get this.
On a certain thread of this forum, one says that the "worth" in "It's worth it." functions as a preposition. I am really confused. Can the "worth" be a preposition?
Also in some dictionaries, it is said that "worth" is a verb but as far as I am concerned about it I believe it is not.
I really have some problems with using the "worth" is a sentence. But as I told you, after checking it in dictionaries and on sites now it's little bit okay.
