I read a sentence which was:
Social differences among men and women were increased because of the difference in access of resources or property.
Personally, I don't think "of" should be used there. Am I right? I also wanted to ask if "of" can be used with it in some or other context.
Best Answer
Both to and of can appear after access, but they have different meanings.
Here, to indicates what is to be accessed.
Here, of indicated what will be doing or having the access. It's generally used when there's a to phrase as well, after the of phrase. You can all use for for the same purpose:
I agree that your example should use to, at least in the absence of other context.
