What is a "preposition"?
A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence, often indicating direction, location, time, or manner. Common prepositions include "in," "on," "at," "between," and "under." For example, in the sentence "The book is on the table," the preposition "on" shows the relationship between the book and the table, indicating where the book is located. Prepositions are essential for providing context and clarity in communication, helping to describe how different elements in a sentence relate to each other.
