A preposition is a word placed before a noun or pronoun to form a phrase relating to another word in the sentence. A preposition with its object forms a prepositional phrase.
Examples of prepositions: for, with, in, to, between, etc.
Example of prepositional phrases:
- She brought some flowers for her mother. (the preposition 'for' connects its object 'mother' to the noun 'flowers')
- He ran with the scissors in his hand. (the preposition 'with' connects its object 'scissors' to the verb 'ran')
- A man in a raincoat came in. (the preposition 'in' connects its object 'raincoat' to the noun 'man')
