Prepositions are words that represent where something is in relation to something else. Think of standing on a bridge...anything describing where something is in relation to the bridge is a preposition. On, under, beside, near, etc.
In this example "over" is the preposition.
The prepositional phrase continues until you get to a noun (subject), so in the example above "over your head" is the prepositional phrase.
When a cloud is white that means it will be sunny and it must rain.
The cloud must radiate a lot of its thermal energy.

Cloud formation because clouds must form first before they precipitate. Precipitate happens when the clouds are too heavy, so clouds form first before they precipitate. :D
In order to see a rainbow, the sun must be shining in one part of the sky, and the water droplets in a cloud or in falling rain must be in the opposite part of the sky.
You can say, "With whom did he leave"
It has always been proper to end an English sentence with a preposition. The utterly false rule about not ending a sentence with a preposition comes from an ill-starred attempt to make English conform to the rules of Latin grammar, where a sentence may not end with a preposition. English is not Latin: we can end a sentence with a preposition IF WE WANT TO. Winston Churchill said that the Victorian grammarians' diktat that a sentence must not end with a preposition " . . . is a restriction up with which I will not put".
a preposition or adverb - known as the particle
"Pray and be helpful to others" is an imperative sentence with am understood "you" as the subject. Pray and be helpful is a compound verb. To is a preposition, and every prepositional phrase must have an object of the preposition. So, others is the object of the preposition.
A noun, a noun clause, or a pronoun must necessarily follow a preposition in a sentence, but the following is not necessarily immediate. The immediately following word is often an article or an adjective.
At least a third of all sentences must contain the ubiquitous preposition "at", including this one.
To end a sentence with a preposition it must have object somewhere in the sentence. You should avoid using a proposition at the end of a sentence unless the sentence wouldn't make sense without it.The sentence, "Which store did you get that shirt at?", would be grammatically correct, and would still end with a preposition; "which" is the object of the preposition. "Which store did you get that shirt?" isn't quite a complete thought without the preposition "at". The standard for placing the preposition somewhere other than the end of the sentence is whether the sentence sounds awkward or contrived by placing the preposition somewhere within the sentece. But in the case of this example, placing the "at" at the beginning the sentence, "At which store did you get that shirt?" will work without sounding any more awkward than ending the sentence with the preposition.Examples:I don't know what I stepped in.You don't know what you're in for.What are you afraid of?You can see what that has led to.That's all she could talk about.Try the link below if you still need help ending a sentence with a preposition.
In this sentence, "to" is being used as a preposition. It is indicating the purpose or destination of Jack and Jill's action of going up the hill.

Some sentences do properly end with a preposition The learnèd fools set you up. Do not give in. This phony rule is nothing we must put up with. Latin sentences may not end with a preposition, but it is perfectly correct in English.There is nothing grammatically incorrect, at least in the English language, about ending a sentence with a preposition. Technically, this is referred to as "preposition stranding", and it occurs any time a preposition and its object are separated, not just at the end of a sentence (Note, the separation of the preposition and its object must be by more than an adjective or two to qualify as preposition stranding: "with a sunny disposition" is not preposition stranding. Also, preposition stranding usually involves reversing the usual order, i.e., placing the object somewhere before the preoposition.) But wherever in the sentence it occurs, there is absolutely nothing wrong with preposition stranding. What is wrong is to rearrange a sentence in a way that makes it cumbersome or less understandable, all in an effort to follow this false rule.One example sentence commonly (and deceitfully) used to show that preposition-stranding is incorrect is "Where is the library at?". This sentence is absolutely incorrect, but not because it ends with a preposition. It is incorrect because "at" is not needed. To see this, simply rearrange the sentence by putting "where" after "at", as in "The library is at where?" Doesn't make sense, does it? If you asked the question this way, you would omit "at", and so it is not necessary. However, if I instead asked "Which building is the library in?", that would be perfectly acceptable.By the way, though the first answerer is correct in his/her conclusion, I need to point out that neither of the first two sentences given as examples actually ends with a preposition. Though "up" and "in" can be used as prepositions, they are not prepositions the way they are used in those two sentences, but are instead adverbs. Also, in the third sentence, though "with" is a preposition, "up" is not. The way you can tell is that a preposition always has an object, somewhere in the sentence, even if it's not immediately after the preposition.Here are some better examples of grammatically-correct English sentences that end with prepositions:What are you talking about? ("about" is the preposition, "what" is the object)That's the girl I'm going out with. ("with" and "that")What are you looking at? ("at" and "what")Put this back where you got it from. ("from" and "where (you got it)")
Yes, to be grammatically correct, every preposition must have an object.
The word 'through' is a preposition, an adverb, and an adjective.Examples:The ball went through a window. (preposition, 'a window' is the object of the preposition)We came through without a scratch. (adverb, modifies the verb 'came')The through traffic must take the left lane. (adjective, describes the noun 'traffic')When I finish this sentence, I'm through. (predicate adjective, restates the subject 'I')
