3.0 Preposition Notes:

6 | P a g e

2. Preposition used before nouns or pronouns to tell us about

a) Preposition which show place:

Below is the example of the usage of preposition which shows place

b) preposition that show direction

Here are a number of prepositions that can be used to show direction and movement around

the floor plan:

across

between

into

past

round

through

towards

7 | P a g e

in, on, under, below, above, beside/by, between,

behind, in front of, at, against, opposite, near, next to,

out, up, down, over, inside, outside, away, after,

before, at the back of.

Example Sentencesa) Walk through the exit of room two and enter into building number three.

b)Walk across the indoor garden to reach room number five.

c)Walk past the side entrance to reach the main entrance.

c) Preposition that shows time

We use at to designate specific times.

example: The train is due at 12:15 p.m.

We use on to designate days and dates.

Example:

i) My brother is coming on Monday.

ii) We're having a party on the Fifth of March.

We use in for nonspecific times during a day, a month, a season, or a year.

Example:

i) She likes to jog in the morning.

ii) It's too cold in winter to run outside.

iii) He started the job in 1971.

iv) He's going to quit in August.

We use for when we measure time (seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years).

Example:

1) He held his breath for five minutes.

2) She's lived there for five years.

3) The British and Irish have been quarrelling for seven centuries.

We use since with a specific date or time.

Example:

8 | P a g e

On, in , for , since, during, after

1) He's worked here since 1993.

2) She's been sitting in the waiting room since two-thirty.

Understand how to form a prepositional phrase.

Prepositions generally introduce prepositional phrases. Prepositional phrases look like

this:

P R E P O S I T I O N  +  O P T I O N A L M O D I F I E R S  +  N O U N , P R O N O U N , O R

G E R U N D

Here are some examples:

a) At school

At = preposition; school = noun.

b) According to us

According to = preposition; us = pronoun.

c) By chewing

By = preposition; chewing = gerund.

d) Under the stove

Under = preposition; the = modifier; stove = noun.

e) In the crumb-filled, rumpled sheets

In = preposition; the, crumb-filled, rumpled = modifiers; sheets = noun.

Realize that some prepositions also function as subordinate conjunctions.

Some prepositions also function as subordinate conjunctions. These prepositions

are after, as, before, since, and until. A subordinate conjunction will have both a

subject and a verb following it, forming a subordinate clause.

Look at these examples:

9 | P a g e

a) After Samuel and Jenny watched movie

After = subordinate conjunction; Sam, Jenny= subjects; watched = verb.

b) As Jerome buckled on the belt

As = subordinate conjunction; Jerome = subject; buckled = verb.

c) Before I eat these frog legs

Before = subordinate conjunction; I = subject; eat = verb.

c) Since we have enjoyed the squid eyeball stew

Since = subordinate conjunction; we = subject; have enjoyed = verb.

d) Until your hiccups stop

Until = subordinate conjunction; hiccups = subject; stop = verb.

If you find a noun [with or without modifiers] following one of these five prepositions, then all

you have is a prepositional phrase.

Look at these examples:

a) After the killer mathematic test

After = preposition; the, killer, mathematic = modifiers; test = noun.

b) As a good parent

As = preposition; a, good = modifiers; parent = noun.

c) Before dinner

Before = preposition; dinner = noun.

d) Since the breakup

Since = preposition; the = modifier; breakup = noun.

e) Until midnight

Until = preposition; midnight = noun.

5.0 Conclusion:

Grammar is very essential in English language. In order to have a good command of

English, a student need to understand the concept of English grammar. Apart from the

English grammar that has been discussed in this assignment, there are many others

grammar a student need to master.

14 | P a g e

Every student need to improved their grammar especially in this modern world. Everything

that a student do especially when they seek information in the internet, they need to have

this good command of English. When a students seek information from other students in the

other countries, a good grammar will help the foreign student to understand what is the

information needed by our students. If not, the foreign student will wrongly interpret it.

So a student should never stop in improving their grammar.
