Yes, it does. Otherwise it will likely be classified as an adjective or adverb.
Sometimes, especially in questions, the object of the preposition is separated or "stranded."
Examples:
- "What are you talking about?" is the statement "you are talking about what"
where what is the object of the preposition.
- "This is the book I found the picture in" is "This is the book; I found the picture in the book."
If a preposition does not have an object, it is not a preposition. It is an adjective, adverb, or possibly a conjunction.
The preposition in a prepositional phrase is always positioned before the object of the preposition. For example, in the phrase "in the box," the preposition "in" is followed by the object "box."
No, an object cannot come before a preposition. A preposition always comes before a noun or pronoun to show the relationship between that word and another word in the sentence. The object of the preposition comes after the preposition.
No. It is commonly preceded by a preposition because it is the objective form of "who." You could say "who called whom" without using a preposition.
It certainly can be. It depends on the sentence.Examples:I gave it to you. ["to" is a preposition; "you" is its object]After you. "After" = preposition; "you" = its object]

Always as a noun: object of a preposition direct object appositive subject subject compliment A gerund will always end in -ing.
it can be. an object of a preposition is the noun in a prepositional phrase. one example where week is the object of a preposition is "that's your best grade of the week"
"In". The object of the preposition here is "mouth".
"Us" is a pronoun, and can be both an "indirect object pronoun", and the object of a preposition, all at the same time. For example, it ("us") is the *indirect object* of the sentence: "He gave it to us". And it is also the *object* of the preposition "to". A preposition always has an object - it is the thing that the preposition acts on. "to me..." "me" is the object of the preposition "to". "from home..." "home" is the object of the preposition "from". "according to dad..." "Dad" is the object of the preposition "according to". But this concept of "object" of a preposition has nothing to do with the concepts of "direct object" or "indirect object" of a sentence. Consider this sentence: "He gave the tickets to us in order to please our mother." The sentence uses the preposition "to" twice: First, with the *indirect object* pronoun "us" as its prepositional *object* (...he gave the tickets to us...). The word "to" is also used again to introduce the *adverbial phrase* "...in order to please our mother". In this adverbial phrase, the phrase "...please our mother" is the *object* of the preposition "to" used in the adverbial phrase. The entire adverbial phrase modifies the verb "gave" - and, of course and more importantly, is neither a direct object or an indirect object of the sentence. It's an adverbial phrase. And its also the "object" of the preposition "to". As you can see, the concept of "object" of a preposition does not have anything to do directly with the concept of "direct object" or "indirect object" of a sentence.
The object of the preposition is gift. The preposition is "with."
The object of the preposition is the noun that follows the preposition, the word that the preposition relates to another word in the sentence. It can also be a pronoun, gerund, infinitive, or noun phrase. Examples: The car is in the garage. (in is the preposition, and garage is the object of the preposition.) We went to the grocery store for milk. (the grocery store is the first object of a preposition; milk is the second object of a preposition.)
The object of the preposition 'for' is lunch.
