Answer 2

A preposition is a word used to link nouns, pronouns, or phrases to other words within a sentence. They act to connect the people, objects, time and locations of a sentence.  Prepositions are usually short words, and they are normally placed directly in front of nouns. They do this by expressing position and movement, possession, time and how an action is completed.Indeed, several of the most frequently used words in all of English, such as of, to, for, with, on and at, are prepositions. In fact, it’s interesting to note that prepositions are regarded as a ‘closed class’ of words in the English language.
