phrase. “What’s their job?” prepositions can do two things: First, they

on Wednesday, in the corner, towards the door. Secondly, a preposition
can connect other words to a noun, or a pronoun.
• For example think about the word, “depend on”. The preposition on
connects the verb depend to the object of the verb.
• For example: it depends on the cost. Usually the noun and the noun
phrase go after the proposition. However, sometimes the proposition
can link to a noun or a pronoun earlier in the sentence.
