- Spelling of some words also takes different forms, like "color" versus "colour" or "center" versus "centre".
This document discusses prepositions and their uses. Prepositions show relationships of location, direction, time and more. Specifically, it outlines the uses of at, on, and in for time and place. At is used for specific times and addresses. On is used for days, dates, streets and avenues. In is used for nonspecific times during a period or for names of larger land areas like towns. Several examples are given to illustrate the uses of common prepositions of time and place.
The video relates to the lyrics of the song by showing Amy Lee giving up and moving on from a relationship through a series of close-ups and shots that move further away from her as she sings. Scenes of the person she is singing to across the table and shots of her passionate singing and dark clothing show her seriousness about ending things. Aggression at the end of the video through thrown objects relates to the lyrics about her needing aggression to get her point across about being tired of being messed around by the person. The dull light and miserable atmosphere depicted further represents the unhappy nature of her life in the relationship.

Taylor Swift's "Our Song" similarly focuses on performance shots with props referring to lyrics but no clear narrative. The document examines how these elements appeal to different target audiences and genres within pop music videos.

3) By drawing so much from "Clueless", the "Fancy" music video can be seen as both a parody and pastiche that pays homage to the 1990s film and era while also establishing Iggy Azalea as "The New Classic" artist of her

drive, but on the street is alongside
the street on either side:

not in it.
He parked his car on Mill Avenue.
Children shouldn't play in the street,

Using At for Places
The preposition at is also frequently used in place phrases. One use is for exact
addresses (addresseswith a house or building number). Another use is for general
locations--places (such as a school, office building, hotel) that are collections of more
specific locations (particular rooms, offices, etc.)
Examples
Her favorite flower shop is at 1423 Main Street
He lives at 2447 85th Avenue, doesn't he?
Our office is located at the southwest corner of
23rd Street and Metropolitan Boulevard.
She's studying at Oregon State University.
The conference will be at the Hyatt Hotel.
Joey isn't here. He's at the mall playing video games.
22. Special Notes:
1. Do not use at for addresses without
house or building numbers:
wrong: *He lives at Marshall Drive.
wrong: *Alice's office is at Main Street.
2. Do not use at for general locations that
have boundaries (cities, countries,
regions, states, etc.):
wrong: *Dave lives at California.
wrong: *Arizona State University is
at Tempe, Arizona.
wrong: *Boston is at the part of the
U.S. that's called "New England."
3. There are also several common fixed
expressions with at:
at home
at work
at school
at church
at the* ___ (office, store, supermarket,
mall, movies, doctor's office, dentist's
office, library, university, etc.)
* The is used because someone
is at only one place and because the
listener / reader probably knows
which place it is.
23.
24. Using To and Toward for Places
The preposition to is another common prepositionof place. It is normally used with a verb
showingmovement and shows the result of the movement--the place or person that the
movement was toward or in the direction of. The preposition towardhas a similar
meaning, but it's not exactly the same:with toward, the direction of the movement
isshown, but not the result.
A <====== to ====== B(B arrived at A)
A <==== toward ==== B(B is on the way to A)
A ====== to ======> B(A arrived at B)
A ==== toward ====> B(A is on the way to B)
Examples
Jamil walks to work every day.
When I saw Jamil, he was walking toward his office.
They'll drive to San Francisco during the weekend.
They started driving toward San Francisco Fridayafternoon, but they didn't arrive there
until Saturday.
Yesterday Billy rode his bicycle to the park.
When Billy was riding his bicycle toward the park,he stopped at Joey's house.
_____________________________________
Special Note:
To is actually more general than toward and canbe used instead of toward. Toward
cannot beused instead of to, however:
same:
25. When I saw Jamil, he was walking towardhis office. / When I saw Jamil he was walkingto
his office
different:
Jamil walks to work every day. / Jamil walks toward work every day.
same:
When Billy was riding his bicycle toward the park,he stopped at Joey's house. / When
Billy was ridinghis bicycle to the park, he stopped at Joey's house.
different:
Yesterday Bilyl rode his bicycle to the park. /Yesterday Billy rode his bicycle toward the
park.
Using In and Into, On and Onto
An earlier Hint showed that to and toward aregenerally used with verbs showing
movementand that to often shows the result of the movementwhile toward shows the
direction of the movement.In addition, the earlier Hint noted that to can be usedfor
toward, but toward cannot be used for to.
The prepositions in and into and on and onto havesomewhat similar "behavior."
Into and onto are used with verbs showing movement.They show both the direction
and the result ofthe movement.
In and on may be used both with verbs that showmovement and with verbs that do not
show movement.With verbs showing movement, in and on may beused instead of into
and onto (though into and ontoare clearer). In this case, they show both directionand
result. With verbs that do not show movement,in and on show location: in = inside or
withinand on = topside or touching the surface of.
Examples
Fouad dived into / in the lake.
Fouad says that the water that's in (not into)the lake is cold.
26. Chang-Ho threw his keys onto / on the table.
Chang-Ho left his keys on (not onto) the table.
Nadia put the cake into / in the oven.
Nadia will leave the cake in (not into) the ovenuntil it has finished baking.
The cat jumped onto / on the sofa.
The cat lay on (not onto) the sofa all afternoon.
"From", "Away" (Places),
The common preposition from can be used with verbsthat show movement and with
verbs that do not. Whenit is used with "movement verbs," it shows the placethat
someone / something left--or, to say this in anotherway, it shows the starting point of
the movement(while to shows the destination or result):
B
(destination) <==========
A
(starting point)
Joe walked / ran / drove / flew / walked (etc.)
from A to B.
B
(starting point) ==========>
A
(destination)
Joe walked / ran / drove / flew / walked (etc.)
from B to A.
The two-word preposition away from is basically the same as from, but puts a stronger
emphasis on
leaving the starting point.
______________________________
27. From is also used with certain "non-movement verbs"in two very common phrases--be
from and comefrom. These two phrases are generally used to show someone's origin.
If be from or come from arefollowed by a country, it is understood to be
someone'snative country / country of citizenship. If be from orcome from are followed
by a city, it is understood tobe someone's home town.
Nadia is from / comes from Tunisia.(Nadia is a native of / a citizen of Tunisia.)
Ricardo is from / comes fromRecife, Brazil. (Ricardo is a native of /a citizen of Brazil;
his home town is Recife.)
Where is Przemyslaw from?(What is Przemyslaw's native country /country of
citizenship?)
Where does Przemyslaw come from?(What is Przemyslaw's native country /country of
citizenship?)
When native speakers of English use be from orcome from to refer to someone who
was born in theirown country, the place after be from or come fromis normally
someone's home city, state, province, etc.:
Mr. Ferguson is from / comes fromChicago. (Mr. Ferguson's home townis Chicago.)
I'm from / I come from Illinois, butI live in Arizona now. (Illinois is myhome state, but I
live in Arizona now.)
Jean-Luc is from / comes fromQuebec. (Jean-Luc's home provinceis Quebec.)
______________________________
Special Note:
Both be from and come from are in simple presenttense when they show someone's
origin. If come fromis used in a past tense to refer to someone who is alive,it shows the
starting point for a trip, not someone'scountry (etc.) of origin or home city, state, etc.:
Mr. Ferguson comes from Chicago.(Chicago is Mr. Ferguson's home city.)
Mr. Ferguson came from Chicago.(Chicago was Mr. Ferguson's starting pointfor a trip.)
28. Using By
The preposition by is used in many different ways.One common use is in place
phrases. In showingplaces, the meaning of by is the same as beside orat the side of.
Examples:
Were you sitting by (beside) the door?
Joe parked his car by (beside) mine.
The police station is by the court house, isn't it?
___________________________________
When by is used with a verb showing motion,it usually shows movement past a place:
We walked by your house this morning.
Who was that man who just ran by us?
We drove by many motels before we found onethat had a "vacancy" sign.
___________________________________
With a personal pronoun (me, him, her), by alsomeans "in an easy-to-reach place" or
"handy":
Hilda always has a calculator by her when shebalances her checkbook.
Norio keeps a map by him when he drives toa new place.
Do you have a dictionary by you when you writeessays in English?
___________________________________
When by is used for time, however, the meaningis not later than:
The meeting will start at 9:00. Please be hereby (not later than) 8:55.
My flight leaves at 1:30, so I need to be atthe airport by (not later than) noon.
29. I expect to finish my report by (not laterthan) Friday.
_____________________________________
Special Note:
When by is used with a "normal" personal pronoun,it means "in an easy-to-reach place"
or "handy," butwhen by is used with a reflexive ("self") pronoun,the meaning is alone or
without help:
Did Simone fix her car by herself? (Did shefix her car without any help?)
No, thank you. I can do this by myself. (No,thank you. I can do this alone. I don't need
help.)
Youssuf is paying his college costs by himself.(Youssuf isn't receiving a scholarship or
otherfinancial help to pay his college costs.)
Hyo-Jin and her husband didn't paint their houseby themselves. They hired someone to
help them.
We have seen that the many uses of the prepositionby include the place meanings of
"beside" or "at theside of," "past," and (with a personal pronoun)"handy" or "in an
easy-to-reach place." We havealso seen that by can show the time meaning "notlater
than" and, with a reflexive ("self") pronoun,the special meaning "alone" or "without help."
There are also other meanings / uses for by.
By is also common when someone is talking orwriting about transportation. In this
situation,by + a singular countable noun (or, in a fewcases, by + a noncountable
noun) shows themanner of transportation--how someone orsomething moves from one
place to another:
Ghassan goes to school by car.
Eleni plans to travel to Canada by train.
Carlo doesn't like to go anywhere by bus.
Nowadays, you can reach almost any locationby air.
You cannot travel to Hawai'i by land.
30. Travel by sea was much more common inthe past than it is today.
_____________________________________
By is also used to show the method ofdoing something:
He paid for dinner by credit card.
Do you normally pay your bills by check?
Admission to the reception is by invitation only.
Today, more and more people keep in touchby fax or e-mail, but for formal,
importantsituations, communication by letter is usuallyconsidered more appropriate.
_____________________________________
Special Notes:
1. For transportation, the idiom on foot
is commonly used:
No, I didn't go there by taxi.
I went on foot.
2. For manner or method of payment,
the idiom in cash is also common:
No, I didn't pay by check or credit card.
I paid in cash.
(In may also be omitted: I paid cash.)
3. By + a gerund (-ing verb) is another
common way to show method:
He paid for dinner by using his credit card.
She learned English by watching TV.
Sara keeps in touch with her family
31. by sending e-mail.
Dmitri showed that he was joking
by winking.
Basic Uses of Prepositions
A preposition shows a relationship between its object and other words in a
sentence. The preposition may be in the form of one word (at, by, in, on,
etc.) or in the form of a phrase that functions as a unit (in front of, by way of,
etc.)
Some of the relationships that prepositions express are place or position,
time, manner, direction, and agent.
The book is on the desk.
(place or
position)
The boy ran toward the house. (direction)
The man arrived at ten o'clock. (time)
He travels by train. (manner)
The book was written by him. (agent)
A preposition + an object forms a phrase. This kind of phrase usually
functions as a modifier (adjective or adverb).
The report of the meeting was read. (adjective)
32. We go to class at ten o'clock. (adverb)

- On cũng có thể là một trạng từ.
Ví dụ:

- Onto (lên) có thể được dùng (chủ yếu cho người và con vật) khi có sự thay đổi chuyển
động.
Ví dụ:

Phân biệt By và With
By + danh từ V –ing: để nói về hành động ta làm để thực hiện điều gì. With + danh từ: khi nói đến
phương tiện, dụng cụ ta dùng để làm gì.
Ta có thể dùng by và with để nói việc gì được thực hiện như thế nào. Ta dùng by
(theo sau có danh từ hoặc -ing) để nói về hành động ta làm để thực hiện điều gì. Ta
dùng with (theo sau có danh từ) khi nói đến phương tiện, dụng cụ ta dùng để làm gì.
Ví dụ:
He only avoided the children by braking hard and swerving to the right.
Ông ta chỉ tránh được bọn trẻ bằng cách thắng gấp và chuyển hướng về bên phải.

- Ta dùng by trong một số cụm từ thông dụng.
Ví dụ:

Do sơ suất mà tôi đã tắt máy tính và mất tất cả dữ liệu công việc của mình.
Những cụm từ khác tương tự gồm: by accident (bất ngờ), by phone (qua điện

bay/đường bộ/tàu hỏa, trên bộ, đường biển); by cheque/credit card (bằng séc/thẻ
tín dụng); by degrees/stages (theo mức độ/giai đoạn); by heart (thuộc lòng), by
force (bằng sức);by hand (bằng tay); by post/fax/e-mail (bằng đường bưu
điện/fax/thư điện tử)
Tuy nhiên, nếu có một từ hạn định trước danh từ chẳng hạn như a(n), the, this,
that, my, her hoặc nếu danh từ ở số nhiều, ta dùng giới từ hơn là by.
Ví dụ:

Tôi đặt hàng nó qua điện thoại.

However, with regard to language, there is a slight difference.
In just means a direction, a place and is more generally used.
When you use inside you usually want to contrast it to outside and you focus on the
inner part of something (a house, a box, a person).
In seems to be more neutral. It doesn't convey the idea of walls closing in on you (or
parts of the box, or your body).
Perhaps these example sentences will help you:
For a long time, we didn't know what life was like inside China.
=> This gives you the idea of China surrounded by high walls
For a long time, we didn't know what life was like in China.
=> Sounds more neutral, doesn't have the idea of being a "closed place".
Another difference is grammatical.
You can use inside in a phrase "it's inside" whereas you shouldn't say "it's in"
Example: You are sitting in the garden with some friends and they ask for some drinks.
You would answer: "Oh, they're inside. I'll get them."
By inside you mean the house.
You cannot use in in this case because in cannot stand alone.

At + địa điểm : at the center of the building

At + tên riêng nơi các trường sở hoặc khu vực đại học: She is studying at the London
school of

• By:
Động từ chỉ chuyển động + by = đi ngang qua (walk by the library)
Động từ tĩnh + by = ở gần (your books are by the window)
by + thời gian cụ thể = trước lúc, cho đến lúc (hành động cho đến lúc đó phải xảy ra)

by then = cho đến lúc đó (dùng cho cả QK và TL)
by way of= theo đường... = via
