Gramática - Prepositions
A preposition is a connecting word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word, usually the subject in a sentence. They are commonly used to give information about time or location.
Prepositions are usually placed after the verb and before the noun or pronoun they are associated with. The noun following the preposition is never the subject of a sentence.
Prepositions are very common words that can have several different meanings. Words used for prepositions are often used as adverbs and conjunctions as well.
A prepositional phrase refers to a preposition and its object. The following are some examples of prepositional phrases.
- under the bridge
- in the meadow
- along the path
