Importance of Prepositions in Spoken English
Objective: To understand position words such as in, on and into.
Definition: A preposition is a word placed before a noun or a pronoun to show in what relation the person or thing denoted by it stands in regard to something else.
The preposition means ‘that which is placed before’.
Words like in, into, at, outside etc., show the position of a thing in space or time. They always come before a naming word or a pronoun or an –ing word. In grammar these words are called prepositions because their position is always before a noun.
Eg. There is a cow in the field.
He is fond of coffee.
The cat jumped off the chair.
Prepositions may be arranged in the following classes:
1. Simple prepositions
2. Compound prepositions
3. Phrase prepositions.
