more difficult because there 128 00:06:31.870 --> 00:06:34.000 are two prepositions that can go in 129 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.460 these adjectives some go with 130 00:06:36.460 --> 00:06:39.520

British to say 164 00:08:35.140 --> 00:08:39.250 instead of oh I don't like pasta I'm not 165 00:08:39.250 --> 00:08:42.090 keen on pasta or I'm not fond of past 166 00:08:42.090 --> 00:08:44.760 or
