A preposition is a word or group of words that is used to demonstrate how other words in a sentence are connected to each other. Prepositions link phrases and show relationships between parts of a sentence. Some examples of prepositions are in, for, on, in front of and under.

In a sentence, a preposition will usually come before any nouns or pronouns. Some words and expressions in English can only be followed by a particular preposition.

An example of this is interested in. You wouldn’t say interested on or interested at. These prepositions are sometimes called dependent prepositions.

Here is a list of some of the most common prepositions in the English language:
Please note that some of these prepositions (like about) belong to more than one part of speech. It all depends on how it is being used in the sentence.
