Prepositions<\/b><\/a>\u00a0are words that link a\u00a0noun<\/a>\u00a0or a pronoun<\/a> to another word in the sentence.<\/p>\n

Here is a list of some of the most common prepositions: about, between, above, beyond, across, but, after, by, against, despite, along, down, amid, during, around, except, as, for, at, from, before, in, behind, inside, below, into, beneath, like, beside, near, of, since, off, through, on, toward, onto, under, opposite, underneath, out, until, outside, upon, over, with, past, within<\/p>\n

A noun always follows a preposition. A\u00a0prepositional phrase\u00a0<\/a>is a preposition and its object. A prepositional phrase can be two or three words long, as these examples show:\u00a0on the roof, in the door, under the bed.<\/i><\/p>\n

However, prepositional phrases can be much longer, depending on the length of the preposition and number of words that describe the object of the preposition.<\/p>\n
