Preposition And Short Story part 2
PREPOSITION
A preposition is
a word that links a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase to some other part of the sentence.
Prepositions can
be tricky for English learners. There is no definite rule or formula for
choosing a preposition. In the beginning stage of learning the language, you
should try to identify a preposition when reading or listening in English and
recognize its usage.
- · to the office
- · at the desk
- · on the table
- · in an hour
- · about myself
A preposition is
used to show direction, location, or time, or to introduce an object.
In English, some
prepositions are short, mostly containing six letters or fewer. There are,
however, many multi-word prepositions. Throughout the history of the English
language, new prepositions have come into use, old ones have fallen out of use,
and the meanings of existing prepositions have changed. The prepositions
generally remain a closed class.
List Preposition :
There are about
150 prepositions in English. Yet this is a very small number when you think of
the thousands of other words (nouns, verbs etc). Prepositions are important
words. We use individual prepositions more frequently than other individual
words. In fact, the prepositions of, to and in are among the ten most frequent
words in English. Here is a short list of 70 of the more common one-word
prepositions. Many of these prepositions have more than one meaning. Please
refer to a dictionary for precise meaning and usage. You can also see the long
