I was wondering which preposition works with the verb "attack"?
1.a- Army forces have been attacking the town since dawn.
1.b- Army forces have been attacking to the town since dawn.
1.c- Army forces have been attacking on the town since dawn.
2.a- I condemn that country for its attacks to civilians.
2.b- I condemn that country for its attacks on civilians.
Personally, I think technically we can use it in the following way:
- Attack somewhere (without any preposition)
- Attack on someone (without any preposition)
Also I think an animal attacks another animal, without any preposition. Accordingly, in my view, the correct choices would be #1.a. and #2.b. I was wondering if I am right? If not, please do me a favor and clarify that to me.
