 PREPOSITION





A preposition is a word used to link nouns, pronouns, or phrases to other words within a sentence. They act to connect the people, objects, time and locations of a sentence.  Prepositions are usually short words, and they are normally placed directly in front of nouns. 

EXAMPLES

  • I prefer to read in the library.
  • He climbed up the ladder to get onto the roof.
  • Please sign your name on the dotted line after you read the contract.
  • Go down the stairs and through the door.
  • He swam across the pool.
  • Take your brother with you.

Prepositions of Time

Basic examples of time prepositions include: at, on, in, before and after. They are used to help indicate when something happened, happens or will happen. It can get a little confusing though, as many different prepositions can be used.

Prepositions of time examples in the following sentences are in bold for easy identification.

For example:

  • I was born on July 4th, 1982.
  • I was born in 1982.
  • I was born at exactly 2am.

Prepositions of Place


To confuse matters a bit, the most common prepositions to indicate time – on, at, in – are also the most common prepositions to indicate position.

  • The cat is on the table.
  • The dogs are in the kennel.
  • We can meet at the crossroads.
  • The sculpture hangs on the wall.
  • The images are on the page.
  • The specials are on the menu, which is on the table.
  • The cat is under the table.
  • Put the sandwich over there.
  • The key is locked inside the car.
  • They stepped outside the house.

Prepositions of Movement


Prepositions of movement are quite easy to understand as they are less abstract than prepositions of place and time. 

  • He has gone on vacation to France.
  • She went to the bowling alley every Friday last summer.
  • I will go to bed when I am tired.
  • Mike travelled across America on his motorcycle.
  • Rebecca and Judi are swimming across the lake.
  • James went into the room.
  • They stare into the darkness
