"Be careful what you say."
"Be careful who you call a liar."
"Be careful how you behave."
People say they're correct, but grammatically I think a preposition needs to be there after 'careful': of
"Be careful of what you say."
"Be careful of who you call a liar."
"Be careful of how you behave."
Am I wrong? Why is it considered as correct without preposition?
Could someone explain?
"Be careful what you say."
"Be careful who you call a liar."
"Be careful how you behave."

The second set is grammatically correct. First examples are more commonly used because they are easier to say, but you are correct in saying that grammatically there needs to be a preposition.
