Prepositions

A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun (or pronoun) and other words in a sentence. It tells us where, when, or how something is in relation to something else.

Examples:

• In: Inside something; within a space or area.
• On: Resting or positioned on a surface.
• At: Refers to a specific point, time, or location.
• Under: Beneath something; in a lower position.
• Over: Above something; covering or spanning.
• Beside: Next to or by the side of something.
• Between: In the space separating two things or points.
• Before: Earlier in time; in front of something.
• After: Later in time; following something.

Example by Sentence:

• The cat is on the table.
  (In this sentence, "on" is a preposition of place, which tells us where the cat is located.)
• I will meet you at 5 PM.
  ("At" is the preposition that shows an exact moment or a precise point in time.)
• The ball is under the chair.
  (In the sentence, "under" is a preposition, which is used to indicate the location beneath (under) the chair.)
