Prepositions

  • Here is a partial list of prepositions. Remember that a preposition is neither a noun nor a verb, hence it cannot be either a subject or predicate. Try to make sentences using these prepositions, and you will find that a noun or pronoun always follows a preposition. (sometimes an article and/or adjective may lie between the preposition and the noun). Do you remember what an 'article' is? A, an, the.
