<p>I always have problem with idiom errors on the SATs. </p>

<p>i.e. reject earlier offer for/of assistence? </p>

<p>It would be really nice if someone can list a few popular and tricky idiom expressions and how they are used in sentences.</p>

2

<p>I think it should be a “for”.</p>

3

<p>No, it’s “offer of assistance.” This is not an idiom: the offer was not made so that one would assist; the offer was that of assistance.</p>
