girl provided an alibi for her boyfriend to cover for his absence during class.

Asked on March 26, 2021 in American english.
I learned a simple trick a long, long time ago that still serves me to this day when dealing with prepositions, which admittedly, as a native speaker come naturally to me but I still found this useful.
If you turned out the sentences to put a preposition and go around and make it in the middle, would it still make sense? Can people also see
the English English reference used for the expression “broyer du noir? Does the passage makes sense? What does it actually do?
Which US language is French “Broyer Du noir”? Does all of this make sense? No, Does it actually do damage the human body?
When you hear “broyer du noir”, is there a British equivalent to the French term? Does this make sense to you? How is it done? Is it even possible?
How do I get the idea of simple prepositions and how do I make them?
