PREPOSITIONS

Prepositions are words that connect nouns and pronouns to other words and show the relationship between the words. While there are hundreds of prepositions, some of the more common prepositions are:

about
along
behind
beyond
during
inside
off
over
to
up

above
among
below
but
except
into
on
since
toward
upon

across
around
beneath
by
for
like
onto
through
under
with

after
at
beside
despite
from
near
out
throughout
underneath
within

against
before
between
down
in
of
outside
till
until
without

Even though knowing individual prepositions is important, you will use prepositional phrases far more frequently. A prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun and includes any words that come in between the two. Study the examples below.

in the village
despite the extensive remodeling project
underneath the grey blanket
near him
between you and me
with her

Note how each phrase above begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun. You will learn more about prepositional phrases as well as other phrases in Week 4.
