A. Read the following passage and notice the words in italics:
Jarif and Jawad live at 'Chadgao Abashik Elaka' in Chattogram. They wake up early in the morning. They go to bed early at night. They go to school regularly. Jarif needs a bag of books for his new class. Jawad needs a bag for his new school. They go to school by school bus.
These words usually establish relations with other words and come before a noun or anything equivalent to a noun.
They are called Prepositions
Look at the prepositions in the passage again and see the nouns after them:
In the first sentence at gives a relationship between 'Chadgao Abashik Elaka' and Jarif and Jawad.
In the second sentence in creates a relationship between 'the morning' and 'they'.
In the third sentence 'to' and 'at' respectively create relationship between 'bed' and 'they'; and between 'night' and 'they'.
In the fourth sentence 'to' establishes a link or relationship between 'they' and 'school'.
Guess the relationship of other prepositions with other nouns.
Therefore, the words that come before a noun or any noun equivalent to link it with another word of that sentence are prepositions.
A preposition is a relating word. |
