Answer 2

I'm a linguist, maybe I can help. There is really know reason why these things happen, languages just change over time. Where in the past we used longer prepositional phrases we now use different words to express the same meanings. The are many more changes since the English of Shakespeare; we don't have a formal and informal version of the word "you" anymore and we use more phrasal verbs (get up, go out, etc.).

Answer 3

Hey! I'm pretty great at grammar stuff, so you can trust me.

A preposition is easiest to recognize if you know what they are. Examples are:

by
through
around
above
below
in front of
behind

A GREAT TRICK: Any word you put in this space will be a preposition:
The foxed ran ________ the log.

A prepositional phrase ALWAYS starts with a preposition and ends with a noun. The noun is called the OBJECT OF PREPOSITION(OP).

Examples:
around the log (around is the prep., log is the OP)
The girl ran through the forest. (through is prep., forest is the OP)
Around the corner is a candy store. (around is the prep., corner is the OP).

I hope this helps!! Remember the fox sentence! good luck on your test :)

Answer 4

Prepositions connect nouns or pronouns to other words in a sentence. Prepositions show relationships of time or space, addition, comparison or contrast, cause or effect, concession, condition, opposition, possession, and source.

Answer 5

OK. A prepostion tells you where something or someone is.
in, on, under, upon, inside, beside, above.outside
A prepositonal phrase basically does the same thing in more words.
On top of. Just add places to the list of words. Under the table. In the box, outside the house. Hope this helps.
