Las preposiciones inglesas son, quiza, uno de los puntos ma's conflictivos del idioma ingles para aquellos que quieran adquirir un completo dominio de la lengua. En muchos de los casos las preposiciones inglesas no se corresponden con sus homologas de otros idiomas. I am waiting for Peter. Estoy esperando a Pedro. En otros casos, en un idioma puede que haya preposici6n mientras que en el otro idioma no la hay. I saw James last night. Vi a Jaime ayer noche. Con los libros Guide to Prepositions y Using Prepositions tratamos de proporcionar al estudiante y al profesional de la traducci6n una ayuda para facilitates su trabajo.
Prologue
English prepositions are perhaps one of the most difficult points of the English language for those who want to acquire a thorough knowledge of the language. Very often English prepositions do not correspond to their homologues in other languages. I am waiting for Peter. Estoy esperando a Pedro. In other cases, there may be a preposition in one language where there is no preposition in the other language. I saw James last night. Vi a Jaime ayer noche. With the Guide to Prepositions and Using Prepositions we provide students and professionals with a practical tool to help them in their work.

About y on
What's the difference between a book about cooking and a book on cooking? On se usa para sugerir que un libro, arti'culo, charla, etc., es serio o academico, apropiado para especialistas. About se usa cuando la informacion que se da es mas general, o el estilo de la comunicacion es mas casual.
Above y over
Los dos se pueden usar con el significado de 'mas alto que'. Cuando queremos significar 'por encima', 'cubriendo', usamos over. Tambien con numeros y expresiones de cantidad o medida se usa over.
- The plane was flying over France. (El avion estaba volando sobre Francia) - There are a lot of clouds over the south of Wales. (Habia cantidad de nubes sobre el sur del Pat's de Gales) - There were over 2,000 people. (Habia ma's de 2.000 personas)
Usamos above cuando pensamos en medidas en la escala vertical (de arriba a abajo).
Compare:
- The summit of this mountain is over 6,000 m. above sea-level. (La cumbre de esta montana esta a mas de 6.000 m. por encima del nivel del mar)
Onto y on to
Onto es una preposicion que significa 'encima', 'sobre', 'en', 'a'. Se usa con verbos de movimiento. On to significa 'meterse con uno', 'estar detras de uno'.
