What is the function of a preposition in a sentence?

Asked by VernieBlann931

Answer (2)

A preposition is a word that comes before a noun or pronoun (most of the time) that describes the nouns relationship with another word in the same sentence.
Examples of pronouns:
He pushed the pencil in the pencil sharpener. The boy jumped on the trampoline.

A preposition connects nouns or pronouns to other words in a sentence, showing relationships like time, place, or direction. It forms prepositional phrases that provide additional detail, enhancing clarity in communication. Examples of prepositions include 'at,' 'in,' and 'to.'
