if u want to improve ur english then the only suggestion i feel is read newspaper properly english newspaper may be it will help you. also try reading novels or magazines, etc.

Answer 2

pre- position. Hope it helps.
It's a 'part of speech' or grammar word which indicates the relation between two words.

and, by the way, u dont "want to your help"- u "want your help".

also, u want to "improve your english" and "improve my english knowledge"

There are several English speaking courses available in all countries. May be u can find some sites on the net- u could try google advanced search- English tutorials,

Another good way is to start reading English News papers, magazines, comics, books, et al. and interact with people who speak english.

Always remember while learning any language- if you can read, write, understand, speak and most importantly, THINK in that language- you dont need any grammar.
tutorials.

While I was in my first year of Engg at one of the most Internationally reputed Institutes in INDIA, the English paper was supposed to be extremely tough and grammar oriented. [Unfortunately, though I am from an English medium Reputed school, we hadnt been taught much grammar except the very basics. However, ourteachers hadinstilled in us the habit of looking for things that didntreally belong- or sound odd to the ear.]
Now, this paper comprised mostly of sentence correction with reasons to be given for every correction. I could correct EACH and EVERY sentence- but the reasons given for all were- 'does not sound good'/' rattles the ear' .. etc. I was the only person to get an A++ in years.

Moral- read, think and talk well- look for things that dont sound good and edit your language. Dont keep harping on grammatical explanations.

Best Wishes.

Prepositions are a member of a set of words used in close connection with, and usually before, nouns and pronouns to show their relation to some other part of a clause like about, of, in, at, on.

A phrase made up of a preposition followed by a noun or pronoun, for example ‘over the hill’ is called Prepositional phrases. They can be used adverbially or adjectivally.

Answer 4

A preposition is a word which is used with a noun to show place, position, time or means. Some examples are:

Under the box, inside the box, next to the box, above the box, near the box. And so on. Good luck and hope i helped you.
