The correct preposition to use with 'aware' is 'of', not 'about'. This is a fixed collocation.
×He is not aware what happened.
✓He is not aware of what happened.
When 'aware' is followed by a noun clause (e.g., 'what happened', 'that...'), the preposition 'of' is still required before the clause.
×He is very aware.
✓He is very aware of his surroundings.
'Aware' is not typically used as a standalone adjective describing a general quality of a person. It usually requires an object (e.g., 'aware of something') to specify what one is conscious of.
×I aware that he is lying.
✓I am aware that he is lying.
'Aware' is an adjective, not a verb. It must be used with a linking verb (e.g., 'be', 'become', 'seem') to form a predicate.
×I want to make you aware about the schedule change.
✓I want to make you aware of the schedule change.
In the causative structure 'make someone aware', the correct preposition following 'aware' is still 'of', not 'about'.
×He is aware to the fact.
✓He is aware of the fact.
The phrase 'aware of the fact that...' is a common pattern. The preposition is always 'of', never 'to'.
