What part of speech is a preposition?

Answer 1

A preposition introduces a subordinate clause to the main clause of the sentence.

For example, both 'to the main clause of the sentence' and 'of the sentence' are subordinate clauses. The words 'to' and 'of' are prepositions. Subordinate clauses written by themselves are not complete sentences. The main clause is still a complete sentence without the subordinate clause.

Answer 2

A preposition is a part of speech used to show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. It typically indicates location, direction, time, or the relationship between nouns or pronouns.
