27. Prepositions

Prepositions of place: (inside, next to, on, below, outside, in front of, behind, over y between)

Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun (or pronoun) and other words in a sentence. They often tell us about place, time, direction, cause, manner, or possession.

A preposition is usually followed by a noun or pronoun, which is called the object of the preposition. Together, they form a prepositional phrase.

Examples:

Place: The book is on the table.

Time: We will meet at 5 o’clock.

Direction: She is walking towards the park.

Cause/Reason: He was absent because of the rain.

Manner/Instrument: She cut the paper with scissors.
