There are many prepositions in English

English Grammar: Prepositions

by Nelly Latypova

What is it about?

There are many prepositions in English. They can be quite different – they can consist of one or more words, some of them may be old, but as the language is constantly evolving, new prepositions are added over time. And therefore, the topic of prepositions is one of the most difficult and confusing. Choosing the right preposition is not an easy task, because prepositions in English have their own specifics and almost always do not coincide in meaning with prepositions in other languages. There are also stable constructions with prepositions. For example, everyone knows phrasal verbs that cannot be translated and used literally.

There are many prepositions in English. They can be quite different – they can consist of one or more words, some of them may be old, but as the language is constantly evolving, new prepositions are added over time. And therefore, the topic of prepositions is one of the most difficult and confusing. Choosing the right preposition is not an easy task, because prepositions in English have their own specifics and almost always do not coincide in meaning with prepositions in other languages. There are also stable constructions with prepositions. For example, everyone knows phrasal verbs that cannot be translated and used literally.
Therefore, to help you understand English prepositions and their grammar, we have created our application. A feature of his learning principle is the study of prepositions within sentences. This method helps to assimilate prepositions better, because the choice of a preposition and its meaning very often depends on the context.

It is very important to approach the study of prepositions both from a theoretical and practical point of view. You need to pay attention to the rules, but also use prepositions in writing and speaking. This is when your training will be especially effective.
