Sentence examples for expensive of from inspiring English sources

The phrase "expensive of" is not correct and should not be used in written English
It is possible that someone may use it informally in spoken language, but it is not considered standard or grammatically correct. Instead, the correct way to express that something is expensive is by using the preposition "for" or "in". For example: - "The new car is too expensive for me to afford." - "The cost of living in this city is quite expensive." Using "expensive of" does not convey the same meaning and may confuse the reader or listener. For example: - "The new car is too expensive of me to afford." This sentence is unclear and does not make sense because "of" does not indicate a comparison or relationship between the person and the car's cost. - "The cost of living is quite expensive of this city." This sentence is grammatically incorrect and does not make sense because "of" does not indicate a location or category for the city.
