Abstract
This corpus-based research attempted to analyze whether

the Adjective + preposition patterns taught in Structure 4
course were commonly used in the English native speakers'
real communication as reflected in a corpus. The primary
data were taken from Structure 4 materials used by the
Faculty of Language and Literature, Satya Wac ana
Christian University. Meanwhile, language samples gotten
from Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA)
became the secondary data. The patterns of Adjective +
Preposition were grouped into tvvo classifications, the rnaj or
and minor usages. The results of this research showed
that materials of Structure 4 coursereflected the major usage
of the English real communication. 51 percent ofAdj ectiv e
+ Preposition patterns written on the handout were used
as the rnaj or usage in the realcornrnunication ofEnglishnative
speakers. Meanwhile, the 49 percent reflected the minor usage
of the patterns.
