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.
