A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence.

It tells us:

Examples:

• The cat is under the table. 🐱⬇️

The object of a preposition is the noun or pronoun that comes after the preposition.

Example:

1. The book is on the shelf. 📚
