🔊 Prepositions 🔊

A preposition is a word governing, and usually coming in front of, a noun or pronoun and expressing a relation to another word or element.

🔔 Example 🔔

💭 She left before breakfast.

💭 What did you come for ?

📔 Rules 🆔 @Maleam

🔺 A preposition is followed by a "noun".

Subject ➕ verb ➕ preposition ➕ "noun"

🔔 Example 🔔

💭 The book is on the table.
💭 He lives in Ethiopia.

🔺 A preposition cannot be followed by a verb.

👉 If we want to follow a preposition by a verb, we must use the "ing" form which is really a gerund or verb in noun form.

🔔 Example 🔔

💭 She isn't used to working.
💭 I ate before coming.
