Prepositions help explain the relationship between things. This is important since English lacks some of the cases used in other languages like Russian.
A preposition must be followed by a noun (for example, "Children are found around the world."
Prepositions can include prepositions of time, space, and movement.
Get used to using prepositions as a way of conveying meaning.
I am off to New York ......... I am going to New York.
I am in New York ......... I am now in New York.
Many verbs and adjectives are used with certain prepositions, and not others. For example: Protest against.
Just like verbs, prepositions (like beTWEEN) are mostly stressed on the second syllable.
