UNIT 5. THE PREPOSITIONS OF ENGLISN
(from «Let's Write English» by Wishon and Burks)
Prepositions are the connecting links between the words and phrases of a sentence which they join together
in various special relationships.
For convenience of reference the lists that follow are divided in four groups: (1) the simple preposition; (2)
the compound prepositions, so-called because they are combinations of two or more older forms now no longer
used; (3) the participial prepositions, so-called because they have the form of a present participle in (-ing), but
have the function and use of the preposition; (4) the phrasal prepositions, so-called because they are word-
groups that serve as and have the function of a single preposition in the sentence structure. This last group
qualifies and often makes more precise the meaning intended by the writer where one of the single-word
prepositions does not always clearly or fully express the relationship intended. You will notice in most of these
phrasal prepositions that one and often two simple or compound prepositions appear in the word-group which
makes up the phrasal preposition.
Note that certain of the words listed below are used with much less fequency than others or that they have a
specialized meaning for which reference to an English language dictionary is recommended.
