Can someone help me? Give me an Idea of what a preposition is like...an example, or something like that???????

Answer 1

Prepositions are used before nouns to give additional information in a sentence. Usually, prepositions are used to show where something is located or when something happened.

For example ...

The dog sat under the tree. (Under is the preposition.)
He arrived at two o'clock. (At is the preposition.)

These links will help.

Answer 2

Here is an easy way for me to find prepositions. I usually add the words "the house" after the preposition and it will make sense. Example: Under the house, over the house, beneath the house, etc.... Under, over, and beneath are prepositions. Other examples of preps are: in, on, with, and to. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

There are a lot of prepostions in our language. Think of a large piece of cheese and a mouse. Anywhere the mouse can go with the cheese, those are prepositions. ON the cheese, UNDER the cheese, AROUND the cheese, OVER the cheese. There are others, but some that don't work with the cheese are OF, BY, TO, etc. Good luck.
