What is a preposition?
A preposition links a following noun, pronoun or noun phrase to some other word in the sentence. Prepositions often describe locations or directions, but can describe other things, such as relations of time. Words like ‘before’ or ‘since’ can act either as prepositions or as conjunctions.
Preposition examples
Tom waved goodbye to Christy. She’ll be back from Australia in two weeks.
I haven’t seen my dog since this morning.
