#007_01 🎀 PREP0SITI0N 篇 🎀 PART 1

A preposition is a word which

can link verbs, nouns and pronouns together.
👉prepositions are words which connect nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence.

In many cases it might suggest location or any other type of relationship which occurs between the various words within a sentence.

Many words can be classed as a preposition but
that does not mean that they are one all the time.

For example, let’s take the word ‘after’ as an example.
On it’s own it is not a preposition.
👉He didn’t meet her until after.
In this case, the word after serves as an adverb

However by changing its location in the sentence and linking it to a noun, it then becomes a preposition. 
👉We will meet after lunch.
The word after now has a relationship to the noun lunch, which turns it into a preposition.

As with all areas of grammar, there are rules when it comes to the use of the preposition. 

1️⃣
As a rule of thumb, the preposition should go before the pronoun or noun to which is has a relationship.

this is not always the case and there are some exceptions to this rule.

Many people are of the belief that a preposition does not belong at the end of a sentence.

❌This is something I do not agree with
As you can see, the preposition ‘with’ has ended the sentence,
we can see that this is not true.

However, this should only be done if the preposition provides relevant information to the sentence.

If you were to add the phrase ‘with which’ into the middle of this sentence, the final preposition would not be necessary
✅This is something with which I do not agree (with).

We are now going to look at some further examples of times when a preposition might come at the end of a sentence.
👉Where did the man come from?
👉How many of these people can he depend on?
👉Who are you going on holiday with?
