Copy or download a list of propositions in many different formats. Prepositions are a small but integral part of speech. They represent the relationship between a noun and other words in a sentence. They come before a noun or pronoun that will have an object. They are also used to identify relationships between words in a sentence.
Prepositions can be tricky. They are not open to many changes in form, and they’re the only part of speech that can link two different words by indicating what one word is doing or where it is located relative to the other. For example, “in” indicates where something is located relative to some other object, like “in your purse.” Use this preposition list to know more about these special words.
