Here are the sentences that have always caused ‘trouble’ for me
- I failed my driving test the first time I took it. (no preposition)
- Sanjar failed in the exam, but his sister got through.
- He failed maths but passed all his other subjects. (no preposition)
- I passed in history but failed in chemistry.
- A lot of people fail their driving test the first time. (no preposition)
Question: Is the preposition in optional after the verb fail?
In general, do we say fail the exam or fail in the exam?
Is there a difference between them?
Thanks a lot…
