When using 对 (duì) as a preposition, it is used to indicate "to" or "towards" a object or target. As with all prepositions, some care should be taken when using this particle, as 对 is much different from when it is used as a verb, indicating that something is correct.

Here are some examples utilizing this very useful particle:

  • 他 应该 他 父母 孝心。
  • 我 很 可气。
  • 为什么 你 别人 很 糟糕?
