Let’s take an example !
The dog is……my bed.
In the above sentence there is a gap, we need a word to connect 
the noun “bed” to rest of the sentence. So a preposition fits in and 
the best preposition would be “on”.
The dog is on my bed.
Prepositions can also appear at the beginning of the sentence but 
their function remains the same.
Outside the window the birds are singing.
? Preposition is “on”.
? It precedes the noun “bed”.
? It shows the relationship between “dog” and “bed”(where the dog is).
? Preposition is “Outside”.
? It precedes the noun “window”.
? It shows the relationship between “birds” and “window”(where the 
birds are singing).
