Along
The preposition along is used before nouns like road, river, corridor, line: words that refer to things with a long thin shape.
Examples:
- I saw her running along the road.
- His office is along the corridor.
To talk about periods or activities, it is better to use "through".
Examples:
- Through the centuries (not along the centuries)
- Right through the meal
- All through the journey (not along the journey)
There is the special use of "along" as an adverb particle in expressions like:
- Come along (= Come with me) or walking along (= walking on one’s way).
