What words are prepitions?

Answer 1

Prepositions are words that describe some thing in relation to another thing. They modify other clauses. They often describe positions, times, and other aspects of things.

IE:

For the time being, things are okay.

Things are okay for the time being.

Up there, the stars can be seen easily.

The stars can be seen easily up there.

In the city, people seem friendly.

People seem friendly in the city.

In all the above examples, the prepositions are words like "for", "up", and "in". When a prepositional phrase is in the beginning of a sentence, like in this one, the prepositional clause must be set off by a comma. That makes it easy to identify; however, it doesn't need to have a comma when the preposition is at the end of the sentence.

Answer 2

Some examples of prepositions are: in, on, at, between, by, for, with, to, from, and under.
