Benefit of/ benefit from----------- Take advantage of/ take advantage from What preposition should be used after "benefit"? I always see "'take advantage of'' in different sentences. When should I ''take advantage from''? In the sentence below, can I use take advantage from? I believe that there are countless benefits of studying overseas of which students can take advantage. Or I believe that there are countless benefits for studying overseas from which students can take advantage. For me "benefit of" and "take advantage of" sound correct. What about "benefit for'' and ''take advantage from''?

We do not take advantage from things in English, we take advantage of situations, people, and opportunities. And, there can be a benefit to something as well as the benefit of something; listen to how both sound in the sentence and you will know which one to use in which cases. "I believe that there are countless benefits to studying abroad. To say that students can take advantage of the benefits is a little confusing. A BENEFIT IS GIVEN AS A RESULT OF SOMETHING FORTUNATE..... be more specific, adn you will speak English better.

We use "benefit of" when "benefit" is used as a noun, but when it's used as a verb we use "from" with it. In other words, the "benefit of" something is so and so, while we "benefit from" something. As for "take advantage", it is used as "take advantage of".
