AP Intermediate 1st Year English Grammar Prepositions<\/h2>\n

Prepositions<\/span><\/p>\n

A Preposition is a word or set of words that indicates location or some other relationship between a noun or pronoun and other parts of the sentence.
\nExamples
\nI met my friend at the market.
\nRishi’s school is behind the railway station.
\nRajamahendravaram is on the banks of the Godavari.
\nThe lecturer is going into the class room.
\nCharan is in the park.<\/p>\n

Prepositions are connecting words. They link the nouns, pronouns, verbs and phrases together in a sentence. Without prepositions, it would be impossible to understand communication. Let us look at how a preposition functions in a sentence.
\nE.g. The book is on the table.<\/p>\n

In this sentence on is a preposition. It relates ‘The book’ to ‘The table’ by showing the place where the book is kept. Here ‘on the table’ is a prepositional phrase.
\nThe object of a preposition is a noun or pronoun : In the example above, ‘The table’ is the object of the preposition ‘on’.<\/p>\n

Look at the following examples<\/p>\n

1. We spent a quiet evening at home.
\n2. I am growing tomatoes in my garden.
\n3. We watch TV in the living-room.
\n4. My brother lives in Bengaluru.
\n5. She looks at herself in the mirror.
\n6. I hung my shirt behind the door.
\n7. The cat is under the chair.
\n8. The plane is just below the cloud.
\n9. She jumped over the gate.
\n10. He rowed across the Krishna river.
\n11. Sunitha’s birthday is on 3rd <\/u>June.
\n12. They walked slowly through the woods.
\n13. She stood up and walked towards him.
\n14. I have a meeting at 9 A.M.
\n15. Dinner counter closes at midnight.
\n16. Do you work on Sundays ?<\/p>\n
