Topic: Prepositions in the sentence

Study the theory block and do the task:

A preposition is an important part of the English language. It is used to show a relationship between a noun or pronoun in a sentence and another word in the sentence. A preposition must always be followed by a noun or pronoun in a sentence. It can never be followed by a verb.

There are many preposition examples that will make it easy to understand how the parts of a sentence fit together and how the rules apply when it comes to using a preposition in a sentence.

There are five different types of prepositions:

• Simple prepositions
• Double prepositions
• Compound prepositions
• Participle prepositions
• Phrase prepositions

• Simple Prepositions

  Simple prepositions are words like at, for, in, off, on, over, and under. These common prepositions can be used to describe a location, time or place.

  Some examples of common prepositions used in sentences are:

• He sat on the chair.
• There is some milk in the fridge.

• Double Prepositions

  Double prepositions are two simple prepositions used together, often indicating direction. Some examples are into, upon, onto, out of, from within.

• Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess.
• The baby climbed onto the table.

• Compound Prepositions

  Compound prepositions (or complex prepositions) consist of two or more words, usually a simple preposition and another word, to convey location. Some examples are in addition to, on behalf of, and in the middle of.

• She sat across from Marie.
• I attended the meeting on behalf of my company.

• Participle Prepositions

  Participle prepositions have endings such as -ed and -ing. Examples are words such as considering, during, concerning, provided.

• She is interested in anything concerning horses.
• He works one job during the day and another at night.

• Phrase Prepositions

  Phrase prepositions (or prepositional phrases) include a preposition, an object, and the object's modifier. Examples include phrases like on time, at home, before class, and on the floor.

• I will get to the conference on time.
• The baseball game was canceled after the heavy rain.

• Using Prepositions

  Prepositions are words that show relationships. A sentence would not make sense without the use of a preposition. There are different types of prepositions used in the English language that not only add detail but make a sentence complete. Prepositions are used to show location, time, direction, cause and possession.
