Re: another "Re: Preposition "to""

Dear Goodman,

Thank you very much for your reply. I suppose it may be stricter.
If you don't mind, please answer this question. Is the following sentence correct in grammar?

"pertaining to or of a single or specific person, thing, group, class, occasion, etc., rather than of others or all;"

The preceding sentence results from interchanging "of" and "pertaining to" in the original sentence and putting "of" after "rather than" instead of "to" in it.

Awaiting your replies, I remain. Yours sincerely,
Ginkgo.

Dear CalifJim,

Thank you very much for your reply.
It has good example sentences. What is more, it shows me that "of" is put after "rather than" instead of "to" when "or pertaining to" is deleted. Therefore, the reply is very helpful to me.

It is very difficult for me to grasp the exact meaning of a preposition on a case-by-case basis.
Your continued support will be greatly appreciated.

Yours sincerely,
Ginkgo.

Preposition "to"

Ginkgo — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 08:51:15 GMT

Dear everyone,

Would you please show me why "to" is put after "rather than" in the following phrase?

"of or pertaining to a single or specific person, thing, group, class, occasion, etc., rather than to others or all;"

The preceding phrase appears in the following dictionary.
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=particular
particular [adjective] 1.

I suppose that the red "to" might be the same as the blue "to".
If so, does the red "to" need to be deleted when "or pertaining to" is deleted?
If not so, would you please show me another way of expressing the red "to"?

Awaiting your replies, I remain. Yours sincerely,
Ginkgo.

Preposition

Guest — Wed, 23 Feb 2005 20:57:03 GMT

Dear sir/madam,

I have been facing with difficulties using preposition at the right place whenever I write business letters, reports and presentations. Very few people in Myanmar can use correctly even English teachers, journalists from English newspapers. How could we improve using it properly and correctly.

Yours sincerely,
