PREPOSITIONS
 A preposition is a word that shows the relationship of a noun or a pro-
noun to another word in a sentence.
 A preposition describes a relationship between other words in a sen-
tence. In itself, a word like "in" or "after" is rather meaningless and hard
to define in mere words.
Unnecessary Prepositions
In everyday speech, we fall into some bad habits, using prepositions
where they are not necessary. It would be a good idea to eliminate these
words altogether, but we must be especially careful not to use them in for-
mal, academic prose.
 She met up with the new coach in the hallway.
 The book fell off of the desk.
 He threw the book out of the window.
