Prepositions are small words that show direction, location, or time, or introduce an object. They are typically followed by a noun, noun phrase, or pronoun. Prepositional phrases can modify nouns, verbs, and adjectives, behaving either as adjectives or adverbs depending on what they modify. Some common prepositions are above, across, against, along, among, around, at, before, behind, below, beneath, beside, between, by, down, from, in, into, near, of, off, on, to, toward, under, upon, with and within.

A preposition is a word—and almost always a very small, very
common word—that shows direction (to in "a letter to you"), location (at in "at the door"), or time (by in "by noon"), or that introduces an object (of in "a basket of apples"). Prepositions are typically followed by an object, which can be a noun (noon), a noun phrase (the door), or a pronoun (you). Prepositional phrases are also used to modify nouns, verbs, and adjectives. When they modify nouns, they are behaving like adjectives, so we call them adjective phrases. When they modify verbs or adjectives, they are behaving like adverbs, so we call them adverbial phrases.
