Jeans are wearing on me (якобы, "на мне надеты джинсы")
или
I am wearing in jeans (якобы, "я одет в джинсы").
Запомните, пожалуйста, что с глаголом to wear никогда не нужно изощряться: в каком бы значении вы его ни употребляли, он всегда останется глаголом, после которого не нужно ставить никаких предлогов:
If you wear red tonight remember what I said tonight for red is the color my baby wore.1
Two of us wearing raincoats2 Standing solo in the sun.3
And the banker never wears a mac In the pouring rain - very strange.4
1. Yes It Is byThe Beatles.
2. Вы поняли, что это не PrCont? Иначе было бы "Two of us are wearing raincoats." Это предложение с причастным оборотом, которого вы пока не знаете. Не обращайте на него внимания, запомните только, что после wearing сразу идут raincoats, без предлогов.
3. Two of Us byThe Beatles.
4. Penny Lane by The Beatles.

4.2. Предлог плюс обстоятельство
Now that I was getting close, there was an almost ungovernable urge to hurry, to get it over with. But if I hurried, I would die. So I forced myself to go slowly.
Stephen King,
The LedgeОбстоятельство- это такой член предложения, который не зависит от глагола. Например, "Я слушаю радио на кухне". "Радио" - это дополнение, оно зависит от глагола и присоединяется с помощью именно того предлога, которого требует глагол: слушать кого-то, что-то - to listen to smb/ smth, следовательно, I am listening to the radio.
А вот какой предлог мы поставим перед "кухней" - это не зависит ни от какого глагола, а только от самой кухни. Уж какой предлог принято ставить перед кухней, такой и нужно ставить.
Перед кухней принято ставить предлог in:
I am listening to the radio in the kitchen.
Итак, выше мы рассматривали дополнения, и они вводились тем предлогом, которого требовал глагол. А теперь мы будем рассматривать обстоятельства, и они будут вводится теми предлогами, которых требуют они сами. Здесь же мы, кстати, рассмотрим и прочие затруднительные предлоги, которые не зависят от глаголов.
1. near
Когда студент X, по обыкновению, переводит то, что он хочет сказать, с русского языка, у него получается:
I live near from the bus stop. Я живу недалеко от остановки автобуса.
It's near with my house. Это рядом с моим домом.
I work nearly from here. Я работаю близко отсюда.
Часто также (по причине необъяснимой) он ставит после near предлог of:
We'll place the bookcase near of the desk.1
1. Это можно объяснить только в случае, если студент Х предварительно изучал, например, французский язык. Если это действительно так, то пусть он запомнит: в английском языке предлог "near" ведет себя не так, как французское "pres de".
Все это не соответствует действительности. Есть два варианта использования этого предлога: просто near (и дальше сразу обстоятельство, без всяких лишних предлогов) или near to (и дальше обстоятельство):
I live near (to) the bus stop.
It's near (to) my house.
I work near here.
We'll place the bookcase near (to) the desk.
Как вы заметили, только в одном из этих примеров нельзя поставить to после near. Почему? Чем отличается here от the bus stop или ту house?
Мы уже сталкивались с подобной ситуацией, когда речь шла про глаголы to go и to come. Конечно же, here - это наречие, поэтому перед ним мы to не ставим.
