PŘEDLOŽKY U PŘÍDAVNÝCH JMEN

S předložkami je potíž, nemám pravdu?
I když existuje několik obecných pravidel, otázka, kterou předložku použít, je často věcí ustálených slovních spojení, kde nejde hledat nějakou logiku.
U některých slov je prostě třeba vědět, s jakou předložkou se zrovna tenhle výraz pojí.
