Good question! “Over” acts as the preposition in a way here. “In his friends house” would be a different type of verb, it’s more about location. “Over” implies time like “overnight” so “in” isn’t necessary. We dont have to double up on prepositions here 😉
@@Dareios074 Don't worry at all. I think I responded a little too fast, too. Slept over the office is fine too. I wrote "sleep over at the office" in the video because "at" gives a little extra implication of location. Just using "over" would be fine. English prepositions kick my ass too, even I'm still trying to make sense of them. It took me years to do as a native speaker because they don't have real definitions, just implications and abstract ideas.
Here are some other modifications of sleep: My friend slept over his friend's house (overnight, time) My friend slept at his friend's house (specific location) My friend slept in his friend's house (location, space, but a little strange - every house has a space, it's obvious to us, it wasn't outside) My friend slept over at his friend's house - a little stronger combining words, not necessary
Now I got it! And as long as you are my teacher, I don‘t worry at all. Learners simply tend to approach a language from the technical side, whereas the native speakers „juggle“ with the words very casually. That causes confusion sometimes. Thank you for your time!

Muy interesante, no sabia una alternativa a sleep deep, creo que es sleep trough, gracias por el video.
De nada! Y de acuerdo es interesante, sleep through es un phrasal verb en que “sleep profundo” or “deep sleep” ya es implicado. Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much, sir for making the videos of phrasal verbs, it is difficult to remember phrasal verbs but you made it easy for us.
Great video. After watching some more videos I think I'm gonna catch up on sleep haha. Thank u😊😊🫶
Thanks for watching!!

Hi John, is „my son slept over his friend‘s house“ actually correct? I would expect „in his friends house“.

But why not „slept over the office“ then? Every time I think I got it I get my ass kicked😂. But it doesn‘t discourage me though👍
