Prepositions are concise words that typically come before nouns, and sometimes before verbs as well. They are considered "predefined" because they have a fixed meaning and are used to indicate the relationship between the noun or verb they precede and other words in the sentence, such as declined nouns, pronouns, or adverbs. When used in this way, prepositions are traditionally known as "prepositional phrases."

Prepositions are concise words that typically come before nouns, and sometimes before verbs as well. They are considered "predefined" because they have a fixed meaning and are used to indicate the relationship between the noun or verb they precede and other words in the sentence, such as declined nouns, pronouns, or adverbs. When used in this way, prepositions are traditionally known as "prepositional phrases."

In addition to their function in sentences, prepositions can be divided into two categories: proper and improper. Proper prepositions have their own meaning, while improper prepositions are formed by combining a preposition with another word.

There are 18 prepositions in total, with six being monosyllables and 12 having two syllables. Overall, prepositions play a crucial role in constructing sentences that convey clear meaning and facilitate effective communication.
