Sentence examples for a pill of from inspiring English sources
Suggestions(5)
The correct preposition to use with "pill" is usually "of" or "on," as in "a pill of medicine" or "a pill on the counter." However, there are a few instances where "a pill of" could be used in colloquial or poetic language, but it still may not be considered grammatically correct.
For example: - "I took a pill of courage before my big speech." (Here, "pill" is being used metaphorically, so the phrase may be considered acceptable.) - "She is a pill of a person." (In this case, "pill" is being used as a metaphor for a difficult or unpleasant person.) - "A pill of guilt weighed heavily on his conscience." (Here, "pill" is being used metaphorically to describe the feeling of guilt.) In formal or academic writing, it is best to avoid using "a pill of," and instead use the appropriate preposition for the verb or noun being used.
