Types Of Preposition
1. Simple Prepositions
2. Double Prepositions
3. Compound Prepositions
4. Participle Prepositions
5. Phrase Prepositions
6. Disguised Prepositions
Simple prepositions
Simple Prepositions are at, after, by, for, from, in, of, on, out, over,
through, till, up, under, with, off, till, over, etc.
Double prepositions
When a single preposition is not sufficient to express the sense, two
simple prepositions are combined to express the sense completely.
Some Double Prepositions are into, from among, from within, from
behind, over against, out of, etc.
Compound prepositions
Compound prepositions are formed by combining two or more words
to form a new proposition. Compound prepositions are usually
formed by prefixing a preposition with a noun, an adjective, or an
adverb.
across (= on + cross),
amidst (= on + middle),
behind ( = by + hind),
about (= on + by + out),
above (= on + by + up),
before (= by + fore)
beneath (= by + neath),
between (=by + twain),
beyond (= by + yonder),
but (= by + out, except)
Participial prepositions
Some present or past participles such as considering, concerning,
regarding, pending, notwithstanding, etc. are used as prepositions.
These words are known as Participle Prepositions.
Disguised prepositions
When the prepositions ‘on‘ and ‘of‘ are changed, into ‘a‘ and ‘o‘
respectively they are called Disguised prepositions; as
This fair is held once a year” – “A” is used here as a shortened form
of “on,” indicating that the fair is held on a yearly basis.
“It’s ten o’clock now” – “O” is used here as a shortened form of “of,”
indicating that the time is ten hours of the clock.
