Prepositions Of Place.
Above / On Top Of / On
Use above when the two objects are not touching. Use on or on top of when the two
objects are touching. The pictures are above the couch. The pillows are on the
couch.
Difference between “on” and “on top of”?
Generally, we use “on” when it is a normal place to put something:
The keys are on the table. And we use “on top of” when it is an unusual place to put
something:
The keys are on top of the refrigerator.
Under / Below / Underneath / Beneath
Use under when one object is covered by another. Use below when one object is in
a lower position than the other. Underneath and beneath are more formal words for
“under” and “below.
Behind / In Front Of
These words are opposites. Use behind when object A is farther away from you than
object B, and in front of when object A is closer to you than object B.
In the first picture, the mouse is in front of the box. In the second picture, the mouse
is behind the box.
What about “in back of”?
Some people say, “in back of” for “behind.” Note that it’s always “in back of” and
never “back of:” We can also say “in the back of” to describe the back part of a space:
Jonas and Gabriel like to sit in the back of the classroom so that the teacher can’t
see them.
Between / Beside / Next To
Beside and next to are the same, but beside is a little more formal. In everyday
English we usually say “next to.” Between means that the object is in the middle of
two other objects.
Near / Close To / By
These words all mean the same thing – that the distance between the two objects
is small. Be careful not to confuse them. “Close to” is the only one that uses the
word “to.”
Nearby is used without a direct object. It is generally used at the end of a sentence
or phrase.
In / Inside / Within / Into

In and inside mean the same thing in most cases:
The mouse is in the box. = The mouse is inside the box.
The word “into” is actually a preposition of movement, not location. It means
something is moving into a space:
The word “within” means “inside a limit.” The limit can be in place, time, or some
other scale.
There are five malls within ten miles of here. (limit of place)
She’s written three books within the last year. (limit of time)
The law didn’t pass because of disagreements within the government. (limit of area
/ class of people)
Out / Outside / Out Of

Outside refers to location. In this case, we cannot use “out.” Out and out of usually
suggest movement, not just location. “Out of” must always be followed by a noun.

Enough and too.
"Enough" is an adjective used to indicate that it is sufficient or equal to what is
necessary. Can be used with other adjectives, adverbs or names
With adjectives and adverbs:
adjective / adverb + "enough"
Example: Heather is old enough now to make her own decisions.
With names:
"Enough" + name
Example: I don’t have enough time to finish all this work!
We can use “enough” with an adjective and a noun, but the meaning of the phrase
changes with the position of “enough”.
Example: Is there enough hot water}?
“Enough of”
"Enough of" + determiner [article or pronoun]
Example: I’ve been in enough of these situations to know better!
"Too" is an adverb that indicates that there is more than enough quantity.
With an adjective or an adverb:
"Too" + adjective / adverb
Example: You are too young to understand.
When we use “too” with names, we use the expressions “too many” or “too much”.
"Too many" + countable name
"Too much" + uncountable name
Example: There are too many students in the classroom.
"Too much of" or "Too many of"
"Too many of" + determinant + countable name
"Too much of" + determinant + uncountable name
Example: His problem is that he spends too much of his time playing video games!
