Prepositions are words that link nouns, pronouns, or phrases to other words within a sentence, providing information about time, place, direction, and relationships. They typically indicate relationships of location, direction, time, or manner.
Here are some examples of prepositions used in sentences:
-
Time:
- "We have a meeting at 10 AM."
- "She has been working here since 2020."
-
Place:
- "The cat is on the roof."
- "She lives in New York."
-
Direction:
- "He walked toward the park."
- "They drove through the tunnel."
-
Manner:
- "She completed the project with great care."
- "He spoke in a loud voice."
-
Relationships:
- "The book is about history."
- "This table is for my laptop."
In each of these examples, the prepositions (at, since, on, in, toward, through, with, in, about, for) help provide context and clarify the relationships between different parts of the sentence.
