A preposition is a word (usually a short word) that shows the relationship between two other two nearby words.
For example (prepositions in bold):
- a boy from the ghetto
- (Here, the preposition from tells us the relationship between ghetto and boy.)
- a bone for the dog
- (Here, the preposition for tells us the relationship between dog and bone.)
The following are all examples of prepositions: in, on, at, around, above, near, underneath, alongside, of, and for.
Note: The word preposition means positioned before. A preposition will sit before a word (a noun or a pronoun) to show that word's relationship to another nearby word.
