Adjective/ Preposition
Message from trevorkhan posted on 14-12-2017 at 08:11:48 (D | E | F)
Hello,
I just tried a test for ADJ+Prep and found an error.
I wasn't interested at all __at__ (in) walking the dog. ( I selected at but correct answer is in.)
Would anyone guide me on this?

Hello,
That is something you have to learn; 'interested in ...'. Link

Hope it helps.

Hello
You should say: Thank you for assisting me !
for + ing = a cause:
He was arrested for speeding.
Thank you for coming.
to + verb = a purpose, an aim: I am writing to help you. I am here to help you.
