×I have a passion on music.
✓I have a passion for music.
The correct preposition to use with 'passion' is 'for', not 'on' or 'in'.
×He is passion about football.
✓He is passionate about football.
'Passion' is a noun. To describe someone's strong feeling, use the adjective 'passionate'.
×My passion is to read books.
✓My passion is reading books.
When using 'My passion is...' to state a hobby or interest, it's more natural to follow with a gerund (verb+ing) rather than an infinitive ('to' + verb).
×I feel a passion to him.
✓I feel passion for him.
When 'passion' refers to romantic/strong feeling for a person, use 'passion for [someone]'. Using 'to' is incorrect.
×She has many passions for different hobbies.
✓She has many passions.
While 'passion' can be countable, it's often used in the singular to refer to a general strong interest. Using 'many passions' is acceptable, but adding 'for different hobbies' is redundant and unnatural.
×He works with passion.
✓He works with passion. / He is a passionate worker.
The original sentence 'He works with passion.' is grammatically correct but might sound slightly less natural than using the adjective 'passionate' in some contexts. This note highlights a stylistic preference, not a strict error.
