What is a preposition?
Prepositions are short words (on, in, to) that usually stand in front of nouns
(sometimes also in front of gerund verbs).
A preposition is a word that relates a noun or pronoun to another word in a sentence.
A preposition is a word (often a short word) that expresses the relationship between
two other nearby words. In the examples below, each preposition (in bold) shows us the
relationship between the word book and the word wizard.

A preposition precedes a noun (or a pronoun) to show the noun's (or the pronoun's)
relationship to another word in the sentence. In the examples above, the preposition
preceded the noun wizard to show that noun's relationship with the noun book.
(The preposition for shows the relationship between butter and container.)
(The preposition above shows the relationship between clouds and soared.)
(The preposition of shows the relationship between the United States and President.)
Prepositions are words that introduce information to the reader. This information can
include where something takes place (such as 'at' the store), when or why something
takes place (such as 'before' dinner), or general descriptive information (such as the girl
'with' the cool tattoo).
Prepositions
How can we use these little words correctly?
Prepositions are used in many different ways in English - perhaps that is why a lot of
people have problems with them.
First, they are used with time words:
on Monday
in the 20th century
at night
Remembering time, place, direction, and manner might help you remember what
prepositions do.
Hint:
The word to is often a preposition, but it is just as often part of an infinitive verb. If the
word after to is a verb, to is not a preposition.
Preposition: I want to go to Florida for vacation.
Infinitive Verb: I want to go to Florida for vacation.
Hint:
Think of prepositions as arrows.
Hint:
One of the best ways to understand prepositional phrases is to learn how to diagram
sentences.
Prepositional phrase
A phrase is a group of words working together that does not have both a subject
and a verb. Phrases usually act as a single part of speech. (We will get to that part later.)
Prepositions can never be alone, so it makes sense to learn about prepositions in
their phrases. Any lone preposition is actually an adverb.
A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a word in the sentence
and the word that is the object of the preposition.
A prepositional phrase is the preposition, the object of the preposition, and all the
modifiers between the two.
in (preposition) the vase (object)
with (preposition) the polka-dots (object)
to (preposition) the movies (object)
after (preposition) science class (object)
on (preposition) your tiptoes (object)
Some teachers have their students memorize a list of common prepositions. That can be
confusing because sometimes those same words act as adverbs. It is better to
understand how they show a relationship.

GENERALIZATION
What is a preposition?
What is the role of prepositions?
A Prepositional phrase is made up of?
Conclusion
A preposition is a word that relates a noun or pronoun to another word in a sentence.
A preposition, its object, and modifier of the object make up a prepositional phrase.
Sometimes, prepositions have two or more objects. We call these compound objects.
The noun or the pronoun that follows the preposition, which relates to another word in
the sentence, called the object of the preposition.
A prepositional phrase is made up of the preposition, the object of the preposition, and
all the words in between.
