Study or study for?
|

Hi everyone! Please help
me with this. There is a sentence like this: You have to plan your time wisely. Otherwise, you will not be able to study for five subjects next month.
I wonder whether for must be used after the verb "study" in this sentence. Is there any difference between study five subjects and study for five subjects?
Thanks in advance

Yes, Qui, there is some difference. "You will not be able to study for five subjects" means that you won�t be able to spend the time needed to do your homework and prepare for tests, for the five subjects you have committed to. "You will not be able to study five subjects" means that you won�t be able even to commit yourself to taking five subjects. You could also say, "You won�t be able to take five subjects next month". I hope you can see the difference.
