In grammar, a preposition is a part of speech that introduces a prepositional phrase, a group of words that modify a noun or verb by using a noun, pronoun, or gerund (the object of the preposition). In "the man with the car" the word car is used to further specify which man is being addressed. In "he talked about what we should do" the object of the preposition "about" is the entire clause "what we should do."
Some common prepositions are:
about, above, across, after, against, among, around, as, at, before, behind, below, beneath, beside, besides, by, down, during, for, from, in, inside, into, near, of, off,on, out, outside, over, through, to, up, under, with, without and but.
