    Prepositions of Location: The Rules

    Prepositions are used to show the location, time or movement of nouns or


    pronouns.

    Prepositions of location show the place or position of a noun or pronoun. For


    example:

    The tools were inside the garden shed.

    Behind the cloud, the sun peeped.

    Harry sat under the shady tree.


    Prepositions of Location: The Rules
    There are many prepositions of location. Here are a few of the most commonly
    used ones:

    beside in front of near above inside

    between behind far below outside


    Prepositions of Time: The Rules
    Some prepositions show time. The three most commonly used time prepositions
    are at, on and in.

    At the weekend, I am going to the cinema.

    I go to swimming lessons on Thursdays.

    Prepositions: The Tricky Bits
    Some prepositions can also be subordinating conjunctions.

    after before until as since

    Since winning the contest, Vicky had become famous.


    In this example ‘since’ is used as a subordinating conjunction to form a
    subordinate clause.
    I haven’t had a shower since Tuesday.
    In this example ‘since’ is used as a preposition.

    This can be very confusing! If the word is used within a phrase that contains a
    subject and a verb, then it is usually being used as a subordinating
    conjunction.
