PREPOSITIONS

• Prepositions usually go before a noun or a pronoun. Some of its types are:
  • time,
  • place,
  • position,
  • direction, etc.

    You should know which preposition is suitable with the sentence or the noun or pronoun it is used with.

• If a preposition is followed by a verb, then the verb will always be in the gerund form (ing).
  • Example – I always wonder about winning the game.
• You can even identify a preposition from an adverb. A preposition always takes an object with it, whereas, an adverb never takes an object.
