    Prepositions are short words like "on", "in", and "to" that are often placed before nouns or gerund verbs. Even advanced English learners find prepositions difficult because a direct translation is usually not possible, and one preposition in another language may have multiple translations depending on context. The only way to properly learn prepositions is to look them up in dictionaries, read extensively in English, and memorize common phrases, as there are few definitive rules for their usage.

    Prepositions

    are short words (on, in, to) that usually stand in front of nouns (sometimes
    also in front of gerund verbs).

    Even advanced learners of English find prepositions difficult, as a 1:1 translation is


    usually not possible. One preposition in your native language might have several
    translations depending on the situation.

    There are hardly any rules as to when to use which preposition. The only way to learn
    prepositions is looking them up in a dictionary, reading a lot in English (literature) and
    learning useful phrases off by heart (study tips).

    The following table contains rules for some of the most frequently used prepositions in
    English:
