Prepositions are small words that show the relationship between a noun (or pronoun) and another word in the sentence. They tell us about position, direction, or time.
Think of prepositions as "position words" because they often tell where or when something happens.
These prepositions tell us where something is located.
When you want to show location, use words like in, on, under, next to, or behind.
These prepositions tell us where something is going or moving toward.
Look for movement or action when using prepositions like to, into, onto, over, and toward.
These prepositions tell us when something happens.
Use at for exact times, in for parts of the day or longer periods, and on for days and dates.
Prepositions make sentences clearer by showing relationships. Choosing the right preposition depends on whether you are talking about place, direction, or time.
Always check if the preposition is showing place, direction, or time to make your sentence correct and clear.
