WHY ARE PREPOSITIONS IMPORTANT?

Prepositions are most often used in front of nouns or pronouns, and they show the relationship
between the noun or pronoun and the other words in a sentence. They indicate (/ˈɪndɪkeɪt/)
direction, time, location, and spatial relationships, as well as other abstract types of relationships.
