I came across two different sentences, from The Wall Street Journal, both containing the word "prices" but with different prepositions, "of" and "for".
Here are the two sentences.
- Audi Cuts Prices of Spare Parts in China
- Starbucks to Raise Prices for Packaged Coffee, Other Products
Which of these use the correct preposition?
If both of these use the correct preposition, then on what basis are the prepositions chosen?
Best Answer
According to Ngram the preposition of is more used, especially with the singular form of price, but both prepositions are acceptable.
It appears that there is not much different between the two preposition used to indicate the price of something.
