This document defines and provides examples of prepositions and prepositional phrases. It begins by defining a preposition as a word that connects a noun, noun phrase, or pronoun to another word. A prepositional phrase is then defined as a group of words containing a preposition and a noun or pronoun. Some common prepositions like next to, in front of, behind, between, and under are listed as examples. The document then provides three examples of prepositional phrases using these prepositions. It notes that a word that looks like a preposition but is part of a verb is called a particle. Finally, it includes a Winston Churchill quote about the versatility of prepositions.
