It also tests your understanding with 200 preposition quiz questions (answers supplied).
This ebook contains a list of most English prepositions in use today.
The first section lists “one-word prepositions” (for example before, into, on). The second section lists “complex prepositions” (phrases of two or more words that function like one-word prepositions, for example according to, but for, in spite of).
The name “preposition” (pre + position) means “place before”. Prepositions usually come before another word, usually a noun or noun phrase:
- noun
- pronoun
- noun phrase
- gerund (verb in -ing form)
If a preposition does not come before another word, it is still closely linked to another word:
- Who did you talk to?
- To whom did you talk?
- I talked to Jane.
Many prepositions can also be adverbs:
- They are in the kitchen. preposition
- Please come in. adverb
A few prepositions can also be conjunctions:
- Everyone came but Tara. preposition
- I asked her but she didn’t answer. conjunction
Abbreviations used in this ebook:
conj. = conjunction
