Sometimes I don't know which preposition is right.
I was writing a comment to a certain film, and I wanted to write my feeling sympathy.
I realized I didn't know which preposition was suited to that situation.
I wrote I felt sympathy for him, but one second later, I thought it might be right to write "to" instead of "for", and then, I'm completely confused it would be better to use "with".
I should ask someone whom speak English as their mother tongue.

American ranks of police officers are different from British ones.
Detective Chief Inspector is Japanese "Keibu", I think, but I heard the word "Lieutenant" on an American police drama which is called Columbo.
I checked it on the web dictionary (http://www.reference.com/) and it says "Lieutenant is a military, naval, paramilitary, fire service or police officer rank."
I haven't heard the word before in British police drama as far as I know, so it might be specialized for American police force.
