Prepositions

Prepositions are words that is used with a noun, pronoun or noun phrase to show direction, manner, or to introduce a certain object.


  • A prepositional phrase is a group of words containing a preposition, a noun or pronoun object of the preposition, and any modifiers of the object.

* Avoid redundancy of Preposition
* BUT is very seldom a preposition. when it is used as a preposition it has the same meaning as except.

The reporter gave us hints that we can use in prepositions:

  1.  The word to is often a preposition but it is just as often part of an infinitive verb. 
  2. To find the preposition ask ''what'' after the preposition.
