Introduction
This ebook contains a list of most English prepositions in use today.
The first section lists “one-word prepositions” (for example before , into , on ).
The second section lists “complex prepositions” (phrases of two or more words
that function like one-word prepositions, for example according to , but for , in
spite of ).
The name “preposition” (pre + position) means “place before”. Prepositions
usually come before another word, usually a noun or noun phrase:
• noun
• pronoun
• noun phrase
• gerund (verb in -ing form)
If a preposition does not come before another word , it is still closely linked to
another word:
• Who did you talk to ?
• To whom did you talk?
• I talked to Jane .
Many prepositions can also be adverbs:
• They are in the kitchen. preposition
• Please come in . adverb
A few prepositions can also be conjunctions:
• Everyone came but Tara. preposition
• I asked her but she didn’t answer. conjunction
Abbreviations used in this ebook:
conj. = conjunction
UK = mainly British English
US = mainly American English
This ebook is written in British English.
