English Presentation
“Prepositions”
• Prepositions are a grammatically distinct class of words
whose most central members characteristically express
spatial or temporal relations (such as the English words in,
under, toward, before) or serve to mark various syntactic
functions and semantic roles (such as the English words of,
for). In that the primary function is relational, a preposition
typically combines with another constituent (called its
complement) to form a prepositional phrase, relating the
complement to the context in which the phrase occurs.
• The word preposition comes from Latin, a language in which
such a word is usually placed before its complement. (This it
is pre-positioned.) English is another such language. In many
languages (e.g. Urdu, Turkish, Hindi, Korean and Japanese),
the words with this grammatical function come after, not
before, the complement. Such words are then commonly
called postpositions. Similarly, circumpositions consist of two
parts that appear on both sides of the complement. The
technical term used to refer collectively to prepositions,
postpositions, and circumpositions is adposition. Some
linguists use the word "preposition" instead of "adposition"
for all three case
What is Preposition ?
Prepositions are of five different kinds: 1. Simple prepositions 2. Compound prepositions 3. Double prepositions 4. Participle prepositions 5. Phrase prepositions

Compound prepositionsCompound prepositions are words like without, within, inside, outside, into, beneath, below, behind, between etc.
