Classic mistake of the week

“It depends of my mood”…
Sounds right but it shouldn’t !
That sentence has been influenced by French language.
It’s simply wrong.
The verb “depend” is followed by “on”, not “of”.
Examples :
- We might go running by the lake tomorrow but it depends on the weather.
- Students depend on their teacher when it comes to preparing exams correctly.
