• A preposition of place is a
preposition which is used to refer to
a place where something or
someone is located.
• There are only three prepositions
of place, however they can be
used to discuss an almost endless
number of places.
PREPOSITON OF TIME
• A preposition of time is a
preposition that allows you to
discuss a specific time period such
as a date on the calendar, one of the
days of the week, or the actual time
something takes place.
• Prepositions of time are the same
words as prepositions of place,
however they are used in a
different way.
PREPOSITON OF MOVEMENT
• These prepositions are used to
indicate where an object is moving
from, where it is moving to, or how
it is moving.
DOUBLE PREPOSITION
• The Double Preposition is a
suggestion that is made by joining
two basic prepositions
