Prepositions

[primal thicket]

You can sometimes see which prepositions are used with which verbs in a dictionary, such as Larousse or Le Robert, on Wiktionary such as here, or any other variety of websites or other resources such as https://www.thoughtco.com/french-verbs-with-prepositions-p2-1364548 but for a more comprehensive listing, I would suggest Dictionnaire des verbes du français actuel (Ophrys), Verbes et leurs prépositions (CLE), or La Préposition (Grevisse) as reference books.

Sometimes i’m lost and i don’t know which preposition to use for a verb

Like why is aboyer après

I’ve never even seen a sentence with that

Yes, it's terrible. I would prefer the references as they're the most complete.
