thoughts and ideas clearly.

At the end of this module, you are expected to:

over, under, to, from, above, etc.) EN2G-IVg-i-7.3;

What Is It

Prepositions are always used to indicate the

relationship of a noun or phrase to something else.
When using a preposition, you must always have the
subject and verb before it, and follow it with a noun. You
should never follow it with a verb!
Study the table.

 We have different kinds of prepositions. These are;
Prepositions of place which show where something or
someone is located. Prepositions of time which show a
specific time period and prepositions of direction which
show where something moves.
