✅ Prepositions
Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in a sentence. They usually indicate location, direction, time, cause, manner, or instrument. Think of them as words that “connect” things in a sentence.
Here’s a breakdown:
1. Prepositions of Place/Location
Show where something is:
• Examples: in, on, at, under, above, between, beside
• She is on the table.
• The cat is hiding under the bed.
2. Prepositions of Time
Show when something happens:
• Examples: at, on, in, during, since, for
• He was born in 1990.
• We will meet at 5 PM.
3. Prepositions of Direction/Movement
Show movement or direction:
• Examples: to, into, onto, towards, from
• She walked to the park.
•The bird flew into the room.
4. Prepositions of Cause, Reason, or Instrument
Explain why or how something happens:
• Examples: because of, due to, by, with, for
• The match was canceled because of rain.
• He wrote the letter with a pen.
Key Points:
• A preposition is always followed by a noun or pronoun (the object of the preposition).
• Together, they form a prepositional phrase:
• on the table, in the morning, with a friend.
