1. Prepositions Definition and types

2. Definition A  preposition  is a word that indicates the relationship between a  noun  and the other words of a sentence. They explain relationships of sequence, space, and logic between the object of the sentence and the rest of the sentence. They help us understand order, time connections, and positions.

3. Linguistic Facts   First,  they are a  closed class of words  which means no new preposition gets added to the language. We use a fixed set of prepositions. Second,  prepositions do not have any other form. They cannot be plural, possessive, inflection, or anything else. Third,  most of the prepositions have many different contextual and natural uses. So, it is easy to be confused about preposition. Fourth,  sometimes a preposition works as nouns, adjectives, and adverbs. Prepositions can be of one, two, three, or even more words. Prepositions with two or more words are called  phrasal prepositions. There are some commonly used phrasal prepositions: because of, in case of, instead of, by way of, on behalf of, on account of, in care of, in spite of, on the side of, etc.
