Worksheet : Preposition - English for Class 1 (Marigold)

Prepositions

A preposition shows the relation of a person or thing to another word in the sentence.
A preposition is used with its object, which is either a noun or a pronoun. In a sentence, a preposition can have more than one object.
Prepositions allude to direction, time, place, location, spatial relationships, or to introduce an object when placed before a noun or pronoun. In addition to "in," "at," "on," and "of," prepositions also include "at" and "to."
Prepositions are regarded as a subset of English words that do not belong to any other group. It follows that, unlike verbs and nouns, this category does not develop new words over time. Their role as the functional backbone of the sentence is reflected here. Language relies on them for its meaning, even though they are subtle and unassuming.
