If you want to learn how to do these, you need to understand WHY the answers are what they are.  A lot of the phrases are ones you just have to know which preposition goes with which verb.  Important ones to know would be the ones that are repeated (like saber+infinitive, poder+infinitive, tratar de...) and also brush up on your por/para rules. The only way to get these down is to practice!\n\n1. con (tropezar con = to bump into)\n2. ---- (the infinitive provides the "to", so you don't need one)\n3. por (por mas = as much as)\n4. --- (poder +infinitive = be able to do something)\n5. por (por = per/each)\n6. Al (al + oir = "upon hearing")\n7. de (Tratar + de = to try to do something)\n8. antes de (before)\n9. En vez de (they're buying meat INSTEAD OF shoes)\n10.--- (see #4)\n11. a (negarse a = to refuse to, more or less)\n12. Para (In order to)\n13. a (vamos a = let's or we are going to)\n14. por (see #5)\n15. de (acabar de = to have just...)\n16. --- (see #4)\n17. a (personal a - when you are acting ON a person it gets the personal a, in this case the action is to have the partner)\n18. en (tardar en = to take a long time to...)\n19. en (insistir en = to insist on)\n20. de (see #7)\n21. en (convenir en = to agree upon)\n22. para (for)\n23. de (cesar de = to stop doing)\n24. para (in order to)\n25. --- (saber + infinitive = to know how to do something)\n26. sin (sin vacilar = without hesitating)\n27. --- (see #4)\n28. a (enseñar + a = to show how to do)\n29. por (for such a bad businessman...)\n30. --- (see #25)

here are the examples you asked for, pal\n********************************************\n1- He kissed me passionately, as if he (loved) me ( in this sentence the man does NOT love me BUT he pretended to be in  love with me ). \n\n2- She insisted to go onstage and move her body as if she was a dancer. (  here she is NOT a dancer BUT she acted like a dancer ).\n\n3- He plays the trick well (as if he was) a magician ( here he is NOT a magician but he acts like a magician).\n\nNOTE** "as if" should always be followed by a PAST simple tense, even in a present sentence. why? because it is just a matter of "pretence" 'cos the subject ONLY ACTS like a dancer or a magician but he/she is not any of this. \n___________________________________________________\nWish\n******\n1- I wish i (could be) a doctor in the future ( this sentence shows that there is still hope that i become a doctor in the future).\n\n2- He wishes he (were) a scientist. (this sentence shows that "he" is not a scientist but he wishes he can be one)\n\n3- She wishes she (had gone) to the party (this sentence shows that the party already ended and there is no way "she" can turn back time and attend the party and so we use the past participle tense).\n\nhope i was any helpful to ya ..anytime!

Linking verbs do not express action.  They connect the subject of the verb to addittional info about the subject.  \nExample:  Ashley is a teacher.  Is connects the subject (Ashley) to the additional information about her.

Hate to say this, but Americans suck at English and won't even know what a verb, participle, or preposition are!!!\n\nGive an example of what you are talking about - then maybe someone will know.

A linking verb is a verb that connects the subject to the complement. They are sometimes called copula or copular verbs. \nEG: That food smells good.\n\n('Smells' connects the subject to the adjective that describes it.)\n\nThe following are the principal linking verbs in English that can be used to connect the subject to an adjective:\n\nBe; Look; Feel; Taste; Smell; Sound; Seem; Appear; Get; Become; Grow; Stay; Keep; Turn; Prove; Go; Remain; Resemble; Run; Lie\n\n\n\nhttp://www.arts.uottawa.ca/writcent/hypergrammar/link.html

I think you just got a good answer from Richard, but I would HIGHLY recommend the book "501 Spanish Verbs" if you do not already have this.  It shows all 84+ conjugations of each verb, and really helps in understanding the differences between the regular and irregular verbs, such as the stem-changing verbs.  It also has some helpful pointers about the use of each verb.
