Prepositions - Introduction to Prepositions

Prepositions are words that join a noun, a pronoun or a group of words acting as a noun with another part of a sentence. A preposition should always have at least one object (noun, pronoun or a group of words acting as a noun). This is the object that it joins with the rest of the sentence.

For example:

Reema’s house is located near the temple.

(Here, ‘near’ is a preposition that connects the noun ‘the temple’ with the rest of the sentence. ‘The temple’ is the object of the preposition, i.e., the prepositional object.)

[Remember: A preposition will always have an object.]
