When adding an English idiom, use " ＊ " as follows to place an object between a verb and a
preposition (or an adverbial phrase).
Ex. だ ら だ ら と 長引かせる drag ＊ out ＜ Objective particle 「を」 ＞
心を読み と る read ＊ like a book ＜ Objective particle 「の」 ＞
" ＊ " is not used, however, when an object is placed after a preposition (or adverbial phrase) in
an idiom.
Ex. 親 し く な る make friends with ＜ Objective particle 「 と 」 ＞
し た く をする get ready for ＜ Objective particle 「の」 ＞
When an idiom using " ＊ " is specified, the [Add for both] function is not available.
