CARRERO MAIKARLY MIQUILENA DIANA

What is a preposition?

A preposition is a word that links nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words into a sentence. The word or phrase that the preposition introduces is called the object of the preposition.

A preposition usually indicates the temporal, spatial or logical relationship of its object to the rest of the sentence.

Prepositions of place Give references about where is the

object. E.g.:

The frog is beside the flower

The frog is on the water
