Prepositions
A preposition begins a group of words called a prepositional phrase. A prepositional phrase ends with a noun or pronoun called the object of the preposition. The preposition shows how the object of the preposition is related to other words in the sentence. A prepositional phrase can be used to tell where, when, how, or which one.
