English Prepositions

Table [English
Grammar]
English Prepositions are a class of words that express spatial or temporal relations
(in, under, towards) or marking various semantic roles (of, for).
An English preposition typically combines with a noun or pronoun, or more generally
a noun phrase, this being called its complement, or sometimes object. An English
preposition comes before its complement.
This is English prepositions Table. In English, some prepositions are short, mostly
containing six letters or fewer. There are, however, many multi-word prepositions.
