Yes, it is possible for two prepositions to be used consecutively in a sentence. For example, in the phrase "on top of," both "on" and "of" are prepositions. This construction is common in English.
Yes, in some cases two prepositions can appear consecutively in a sentence. This often occurs when one preposition is part of a phrasal verb. For example, in the sentence "I'll meet you at the park in by the fountain," "in" and "by" are consecutive prepositions.
You can sit here. What is the naming part of the sentance?
There are several good ways to remember prepositions:1. Visualise the word: in the box, on the box, over the box, under the box, behind the box, beside the box, near the box.2. Think of an event in time: before breakfast, during breakfast, after breakfast, between 9 o'clock and mid-day.3. Think of movement: to school, from school, run around the school.or static in a place: at school, the grass around the school.4. Know the words they are often linked with: wake up, sit down, take off, put on.5. Below is a list of 52 common prepositions. DON'T learn them! But put them in groups.Group them with prepositions that are similar.Write a list of all the prepositions in that group.e.g.updown-----------beforeafter-----------i) Draw pictures of the direction or position.ii) Then link the prepositions with the nouns or verbs they might be used with.iii) Just do the easy ones first.iv) Then write a simple sentence using one preposition from one group.e.g. We must not jump out of the window.v) Ask your teacher to check that it is correct.vi) Then speak it, using your hand to gesture the movement, if appropriate.vii) Then write a similar sentence but using a different preposition from the same group.e.g. We must play football in the street.viii) Then tell your friend each sentence, gesturing if possible.ix) Just have fun with about six prepositions a day.After a few days you'll automatically know how to use many prepositions.Don't worry about any difficult ones.

"Sit down and hear" is a sentence fragment, as it lacks a subject and a main verb. To make it a complete sentence, you could add a subject and a verb, such as "Please sit down and hear the presentation."

It could be either. 'Sit!' as an imperative form of the verb to sit (an instruction given to a dog, for example) is a sentence in its own right. Sit can also be just one word in a sentence, for example 'I asked you not to sit there.' In that case it would be a fragment.
It is a sentence. It is a declarative sentence also because it's giving a demand.
Sentences have such things as verbs and subjects. Words, however, can be of many different types. There are adjectives and adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions, and others. Sentences, if that is what you really wanted to ask, always have both a verb and a subject, but those may not be stated explicitly; they can be implied.

Ex: Please sit down for a while. The phrase “down for a while” is a prepositional phrase. With down & for being the prepositions & while being the object of the preposition.

This question does not sit well with me.
Yes it is definitely. Sit quietly is an emphatic/command sentence. This type of sentence doesn't follow the usual S V O pattern of an English sentence. Other examples: Be quiet, sit down,
