Prepositions are handy little words that demonstrate concepts such as directions, location, time, duration, and relations. Some common examples we use every day include: to, from, for, over, around, past, by, at, in, on, up, down, around, and through.

Prepositions can stand on their own or they can combine to form longer strings of words which we call "prepositional phrases". These phrases make your writing rich and vibrant.
