Let’s Learn Prepositions

A preposition is a word or a group of words placed before a noun or pronoun in a sentence
telling the place, time or direction. It is also used to link nouns, pronouns, or phrases to
other words within a sentence.

All prepositions must be followed by a noun/pronoun as they show the position of the
noun. For example:

Keep the biscuits in the box.
O
It is difficult to go through that narrow tunnel.
O
Come with me.
O

O
Go up the mountain. (It shows the relation between verb and noun.)
O
He is tall for his age. (It shows the relation between the adjective and the noun.)
