PREPOSITION

 A preposition is a word—and almost always a very small, very


common word—that shows direction (to in "a letter to you"),
location (at in "at the door"), or time (by in "by noon"), or that
introduces an object (of in "a basket of apples"). Prepositions are
typically followed by an object, which can be a noun (noon), a
noun phrase (the door), or a pronoun (you).
 Prepositional phrases are also used to modify nouns, verbs, and
adjectives. When they modify nouns, they are behaving like
adjectives, so we call them adjective phrases. When they modify
verbs or adjectives, they are behaving like adverbs, so we call
them adverbial phrases.
 List of commonly used prepositions: above, across, against, along,
among, around, at, before, behind, below, beneath, beside,
between, by, down, from, in, into, near, of, off, on, to, toward,
under, upon, with and within.
