PREPOSITION

In English grammar, a preposition is a word (one of the parts of speech and a member of a closed word
class) that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence.
Prepositions commonly convey the following relationships: agency (by); comparison (like, as . . . as);
direction (to, toward, through); place (at, by, on); possession (of); purpose (for); source (from, out of);
and time (at, before, on).
ARTICLE

An article is a word used to modify a noun, which is a person, place, object, or idea. Technically, an
article is an adjective, which is any word that modifies a noun. There are two different types of articles
that we use in writing and conversation to point out or refer to a noun or group of nouns: definite and
indefinite articles.

 Definite articles : This article is the word the, and it refers directly to a specific noun or groups
of nouns.
For example: the freckles on my face, the breakfast burrito on my plate.
 Indefinite articles : Are the words a and an. Each of these articles is used to refer to a noun, but
the noun being referred to is not a specific person, place, object, or idea. It can be any noun
from a group of nouns.
For example: a Mercedes from the car lot, an event in history.
