Explanation:

• Prepositions in a sentence show the connections between other words.
• Many prepositions provide information about the location or timing of an event.
• Since most prepositions have many definitions, their meaning might vary greatly depending on the situation.
• Prepositional sentence endings are not grammatical mistakes.

Prepositions describe the location or timing of an object in respect to another object. It helps to know these specific words to identify where monsters are while they are on their way. Are they in front of us or behind us? Do you think they'll show up in three seconds or at midnight?

Prepositions frequently describe how one noun is related to another (e.g., The coffee is on the table beside you). However, they can also represent more abstract concepts like purpose or contrast (e.g., We went for a walk despite the rain).
