Preposition and Pronouns

Prepositions: Prepositions are words that show the relationship between other words in a sentence. They indicate location, direction, time, manner, and other relationships. Prepositions are often used to describe the position of nouns (or pronouns) in relation to other elements in a sentence.

Examples of prepositions: in, on, under, above, beside, between, with, by, for, to, from, during, after, before, etc.

Here are some example sentences using prepositions:

  1. The book is on the table.
  2. She walked through the park.
  3. The cat is hiding under the bed.
  4. They went to the movies.
  5. The package will arrive before noon.

Pronouns: Pronouns are words that are used to replace nouns in a sentence. They help avoid repetition and make sentences less cumbersome. Pronouns stand in for people, places, things, or ideas mentioned earlier in a conversation or text.

Examples of pronouns: he, she, it, they, we, you, me, him, her, them, us, I, myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves, etc.

Here are some example sentences using pronouns:

  1. Mary is my friend. She is very kind.
  2. The dog wagged its tail.
  3. John and Lisa went to the park. They played soccer.
  4. Could you pass me that book?
  5. I saw him at the party yesterday.

Remember, prepositions and pronouns are fundamental elements of English grammar and play important roles in forming coherent and meaningful sentences.
