    Some adjectives can use two prepositions - for the person
    and the reason. For example:
    FCE practice
    angry
    annoyed
    I'm with him about the washing up.
    cross
    furious

    Unfortunately there are often other possible prepositions,


    which may change the meaning slightly. For example:
    He was guilty of murder.
    (a court decided that he had committed this crime)
    He felt guilty about lying to the police.
    (a feeling)
