What is a Preposition?

A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence.
It tells us about:

• Place/Position 🏠
• Time/When ⏰
• Direction/Movement 🏃‍♂️➡️
• Other relationships ❤️

Examples: in, on, under, behind, between, over, with, at, from, to

Tips to Identify Prepositions 💡

1. Prepositions usually come before a noun or pronoun.
   • Example: She sat on the chair. ✅
2. Ask “Where?” or “When?” or “Which direction?” to spot the preposition.
3. Not all small words are prepositions – watch out for verbs!
   • Example: He runs fast. ❌ (runs = verb)

Fun Trick to Remember Prepositions 🎯

“A PREPOSITION shows a POSITION or RELATION.”

Think of it like a bridge 🌉 connecting a noun/pronoun to the rest of the sentence.
