</ul>


==Prepositions with Verbs==
Here, the preposition "дар" (dar) is used to indicate the location or position of the action "walking". It specifies that the cat is walking "on" the table.


In Tajik, prepositions are commonly used with verbs to express more precise meanings. Here are some examples:
Example 3:
- Tajik: Ман бо дӯстам мехӯрам.
- Pronunciation: Man bo dūstam mehūram.
