Common mistakes

Some combinations appear in real text but do not mean what learners often assume.

Using to after unsubscribe

Use from, not to, for the thing you stop receiving.

✕ unsubscribe to emails ✓ unsubscribe from emails

Using with as the main preposition

With does not introduce the subscription being cancelled.

✕ unsubscribe with the service ✓ unsubscribe from the service

Confusing the object and a time phrase

At can follow the sentence as a time expression, but not directly after unsubscribe.

✕ unsubscribe at the newsletter ✓ unsubscribe from the newsletter

Quick practice

Choose the expression that matches the intended meaning.

1. She decided to ___ the company newsletter.
2. Users can unsubscribe ___ text alerts at any time.
