Question

I have great regard ......my teachers

Answer 1

The correct word to be filled in the blank is 'for'.

Hence the sentence will be written as follows:

I have great regard for my teachers.

'For' is a preposition. The words at, in, of, on and to are examples of prepositions. A word such as a noun, pronoun or gerund following a preposition is said to be the object of the preposition. There are many 'small words' in English such as up, down, and by which we call prepositions. A preposition must have an object (a noun or a pronoun), so it is always related to a noun: across the road, over the wall, up the hill, down the mountain.

Prepositions are very tricky. One has to be very careful in learning and using them.

Answer 2

I have great regard for my teachers.
