3. PREPOSITIONS: USAGE
• A preposition always goes with a noun
or pronoun which is called the object
of the preposition. The preposition is
almost always before the noun or
pronoun and that is why it is called
a preposition. The preposition and
the object of the preposition together
are called a prepositional phrase.
