Answer:

I hope it's helpfull

Explanation:

☆When do we use “confident in” and “confident of”? What is denoted by these words?

2. Which pronoun should be used in this sentence and why so: “The

winners of the contests were (they, them)”?

My reply to Marianne:

Regarding Question #1, we match the adjective “confident” with the preposition “in” to indicate trust in someone or something, as in these examples: “We are confident in his ability to manage this company despite his young age.” “The principal is fully confident in her assistant’s competence to run the school in her absence.” “I am confident in the knowledge that my superior has full trust in me.” “Filipinos remain confident in the safety of their banking system despite the laundering of millions of dollars of stolen foreign funds in a local bank.”

On the other hand, we can match the adjective “confident” with “of” to express our trust or certainty about a particular fact or information, as in these examples: “I am confident of her chances of getting nominated for CEO.” “The ambitious candidate was confident of winning but lost to an aggressive, down-to-earth upstart.” “He remains confident of getting his law degree despite the inadequacy of his English.”

☆The adjective “confident” may actually be followed by any of several other prepositions depending on the intended sense. There may be overlapping in sense for particular preposition choices, but the contexts for their usage are generally not interchangeable. Take a look at the following sentences where “confident” is followed by the prepositions “about,” “with,” “at,” and “for”:

1. In the sense of “regarding”: “We are confident about our investment in solar power.”

2. In the sense of “over” or “about”: “They are confident with their performance in the audition.”

3. In the sense of “doing”: “She never learned to be confident at cashiering.”

4. In the sense of “ascendancy over”: “The experience made him feel more confident for whatever challenges may come.”
