Basic and Important Points on Prepositions
- Definition:
A preposition is a word used to link nouns, pronouns, or phrases to other words within a sentence. It often indicates relationships in terms of time, place, direction, cause, manner, or possession. - Common Prepositions:
Some frequently used prepositions include in, on, at, by, for, with, about, to, of, under, over, and between. - Placement:
- A preposition is usually followed by a noun or pronoun, called the object of the preposition.
Example: The book is on the table. - Prepositions are never followed by a verb in its base form.
- A preposition is usually followed by a noun or pronoun, called the object of the preposition.
- Prepositional Phrases:
A preposition combined with its object (and modifiers, if any) forms a prepositional phrase.
Example: She sat beside the lake. - Types of Prepositions:
- Place/Position: at, in, on (e.g., She is at home.)
- Time: since, during, until (e.g., I’ve lived here since 2020.)
