PREPOSITIONS
Prepositions are words that connect nouns or pronouns to verbs or adjectives in sentences.
Example: I am returning home with my friend Megan
Usually prepositions show a relationship in space or time or a logical relationship between two or more people, places or things. They are most commonly followed by a noun phrase or pronoun.
Example: The church is opposite the theatre
