A preposition is a word that shows

the relation between a noun or a pronoun

and some other words in a sentence.

A preposition is placed

before a noun or a pronoun.

Different prepositions show different relations.

For example:

I have a bowl of rice inside this dish for you.

This sentence had three prepositions.

The first preposition “of”

shows the relation between bowl and rice.

The second preposition “inside”

shows the relation between rice and dish

and the third one , “for”

shows the relation between dish

and the pronoun “you”.

Here’s another example:

I will give my present to you after the party.

“to” shows the relation between present

and the pronoun “you”

“After” shows the relation between

the noun “party” and the verb “give”.

Prepositions show relationships between

all types of words.

But remember

there’s always a noun

being connected to a preposition.

There’s quite a few prepositions

and it’s hard to remember all of them

but if you remember that

they could show relationships between nouns

and other parts of speech

that will help you identify them.

Prepositions of place:

Sometimes the prepositions indicate

where someone or something is.

Such prepositions are called

prepositions of place.

For example:

Helen is standing against the wall.

Here the preposition “against”

shows where Helen is.

Prepositions of time:

Sometimes the prepositions indicate

when an event happens or happened.

These prepositions are called

prepositions of time.

For example:

Martin plays tennis on Saturdays.

Here the preposition “on”

shows us when the event happens .

Prepositions of direction:

Prepositions also indicate the direction

in which someone or something comes and goes.

Such prepositions are called

prepositions of direction.

For example:

Holly is throwing a ball at them.

Here the preposition at

shows the direction in which the ball is thrown.

Redundant prepositions:

When constructing a sentences

you have to be careful

to remove redundant prepositions.

Speakers may use two prepositions

when only one is needed.

Where did you go to school at?

The preposition “at” is redundant.

The sentence would be better if you just said

where did you go to school?

The preposition “at”

is not necessary in this sentence.

The fat yellow bird

was inside of the cage.

In this sentence

the preposition” of” is redundant.

The sentence would be better if it just said

the fat yellow bird was inside the cage.

The preposition “of”

adds nothing to the sentence.
