<p>Does anyone know where I can find a good list of proper idiomatic expressions in standard written english? I searched on Google but all the lists concern sayings such as "culture vulture", but not the ones they test on the SATs. Some examples would be "preoccupied with", "agree with" instead of "preoccupied of" or "agree in"?
I desperately need some list to study for the SAT Writing section, so any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.</p>
<p>Yes, that would be helpful. That's probably the trickiest part.</p>
<p>McGraw hill has a list inside its SAT I prep book</p>
<p>The now defunct SAT II Writing prep books had a lot of that. I have the Kaplan and Barron's ones, and they are excellent for those matters. You may want to seek out one of the older books as they may be more comprehensive for you.</p>
<p>if you are looking for tips or lists for prepositional agreement, look at a grammar aid like Grammar Smart.</p>
