Takeaways from this Page

Prepositions are essential words that help us understand the relationship between different parts of a sentence. They tell us where things are, when events happen, and how things are connected. For example, in the sentence "The book is on the table," the word "on" is a preposition that shows the location of the book. Prepositions are small but powerful, and they include words like "in," "on," "at," "under," and "between." Knowing how to use prepositions correctly makes our communication clear and accurate. Practising with prepositions helps us improve our grammar and makes our sentences more meaningful.
