Prepositions

A preposition links nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in 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.

1. The magazine is on the shelf.
The preposition is “on”.

2. The ball is beneath the table.
The preposition is “beneath”.

3. The cane is leaning against the wall.
The preposition is “against”.

Here is a list of common prepositions:

above
across
after (can also act as a subordinating conjunction)
against
among
around
at
before (can also act as a subordinating conjunction)

below
