Manish will pen_ a poem. Use preposition
Answers
A preposition is an important part of the English language. It is used to show a relationship between the noun and pronoun in a sentence. A preposition must always be followed by a noun or pronoun in a sentence. It can never be followed by a verb.
There are many preposition examples that will make it easy to understand how the parts of a sentence fit together and how the rules apply when it comes to using a preposition in a sentence.
Examples of Prepositions
There are five different types of prepositions:
◉Simple prepositions
◉Double prepositions
◉Compound prepositions
◉Participle prepositions
◉Phrase prepositions
Simple Prepositions
Simple prepositions are words like at, for, in, off, on, over, and under. These common prepositions can be used to describe a location, time or place.
Some examples of common prepositions used in sentences are:
◉He sat on the chair.
◉There is some milk in the fridge.
◉She was hiding under the table.
◉The cat jumped off the counter.
◉He drove over the bridge.
◉She lost her ring at the beach.

◉We are running in the gym today.
◉The sun is above the clouds.
◉She lives near her workplace.
◉She drew the picture with a crayon.
◉He swam at the lake.
Double Prepositions
Double prepositions are two simple prepositions used together, often indicating direction. Some examples are into, upon, onto, out of, from within.
◉Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess.
◉The baby climbed onto the table.
◉It is up to us to find the answer.
◉The loud noise came from within the stadium.
◉She never leaves without her phone.
◉The bird sat atop the oak tree.
◉The caterpillar turned into a butterfly.
◉I was unable to get out of the appointment.

Compound prepositions (or complex prepositions) consist of two or more words, usually a simple preposition and another word, to convey location. Some examples are in addition to, on behalf of, and in the middle of.
◉She sat across from Marie.
