A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence.
Here are some examples:
* Location: The cat sat on the mat. ("on" shows the cat's position relative to the mat)
* Time: I will see you at noon. ("at" shows the time of the meeting)
* Direction: She walked toward the store. ("toward" shows the direction of her walk)
* Means: He went to school by bus. ("by" shows the means of transportation)
* Possession: The book is of great value. ("of" shows the book's value)
Prepositions are often followed by a noun or pronoun, which is called the object of the preposition. For example, in the sentence "The cat sat on the mat," "mat" is the object of the preposition "on."
Some common prepositions include:
* on, in, at, to, from, for, of, with, by, about, through, during, before, after, behind, above, below, across, under, over
