“Depends on” vs. “Depends of”

A common mistake English learners make is saying “depends of” instead of “depends on.” In English, “depends” always goes with “on” because it shows what something is influenced by.

For example:
• ✅ It depends on you. (Correct)
• ❌ It depends of you. (Incorrect)

Here are some more correct examples:
• The trip depends on the weather.
• Success depends on hard work.
• It depends on how much time we have.

If you want to sound more natural, you can also say:
• It’s up to you.
• The decision is yours.

Now you know! Always use “depends on” and never “depends of” in English. Keep practicing, and you’ll sound more fluent in no time!
