2. INTRODUCTION “Vampires! Zombies! Werewolves!” “Where?!” “Behind you!” Thank goodness for prepositions. Imagine not knowing where the danger lay . . . Prepositions tell us where or when something is in relation to something else. When monsters are approaching, it’s good to have these special words to tell us where those monsters are. Are they  behind  us or  in front of  us? Will they be arriving  in  three seconds or  at  midnight? Prepositions often tell us where one  noun  is in relation to another (e.g., “The coffee is  on  the table  beside  you”). But they can also indicate more abstract ideas, such as purpose or contrast (e.g., “We went  for  a walk  despite  the rain”).

4. WHAT IS PREPOSITIONS?   A preposition is a connecting word that establishes a relationship between the parts of a sentence. It acts as a glue that holds different components of a sentence together, helping to create context and meaning. There are different types of prepositions, and they can be used to indicate time, place, direction, and manner. Without proper prepositions, sentences can become confusing and difficult to understand. Therefore, it is essential to have a solid understanding of the different types of prepositions and how they are used.

5. TYPES OF PREPOSITIONS Preposition of time  They indicate the time of an event when it happened, is happening, or might happen. It can be any date, day, time, month, year, or even a brief moment.  Examples:  on, at, during, etc.  Preposition of movement  It may be tricky to understand and apply, but these prepositions tell about the direction in which the event occurs.  Examples:  toward, to, by, etc. 

6. Preposition of manner  These prepositions depict how things happen and how something is done. Examples:  with, by, like, etc.  Preposition of place  These imply where an event occurred. It makes it easier to keep track of where things happen.  Examples:  at, by, in, on, etc. 

7. Preposition of source  They indicate the origin or birth point of an event or occurrence.  Examples:  by, from, etc.  Preposition of measure  This category of prepositions comments on the quantity or quality of something. Examples:  by, of, etc.  Preposition of possession  These words imply the ownership of an object or article.  Examples:  of, with, to, etc. Preposition of an agent of instrument  Last but not least, these prepositions talk about the agency of something or someone taking responsibility.  Examples:  with, by, etc. 

8. ESSENTIAL PREPOSITIONS

9. Ending a sentence with a preposition Ending a sentence with a preposition The old claim that it’s wrong to  end a sentence with a preposition  has been debunked. It’s not true now and it never was true. Writers who insist that a preposition can’t end a sentence often end up with stilted and unnatural-sounding sentences: There’s no one else to hide  behind .  (Correct and natural) There’s no one else  behind  whom to hide.  (Correct but unnatural) Where did you come  from ?  (Correct and natural) From  where did you come?  (Correct but unnatural) That said, it is sometimes more elegant to move a preposition to an earlier spot in a sentence, especially in very serious and  formal writing . But if you do move the preposition, remember to delete it from the end. This is something we must meditate  on . This is something  on  which we must meditate. This is something  on  which we must meditate  on .
