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 preposition list (with examples) in our vocabulary section .

Preposisi-preposisi di atas bersifat umum, bisa digunakan sesuai dengan konteks yang diperlukan. Namun dalam Bahasa Inggris, ada beberapa Preposisi yang sifatnya terikat (bounded) atau menempel pada kata kerja (verb) atau kata sifat (adjective) tertentu.

Contoh :

Believe = in 

I believe in you. (benar)
Aku percaya padamu

Dalam Contoh kalimat diatas, in adalah preposisi terikat dari believe, sehingga in tidak boleh diganti dengan yang lain. Namun demikian, beberapa Verb dan Adjective dapat memiliki lebih dari satu Bounded Preposition.
