    The Preposition

    Recognize a preposition when you see one.

    Prepositions are the words that we use to indicate location. Usually, prepositions
    show this location in the physical world. Check out the three examples below:

    The dolphin is The dolphin is in The dolphin is


    above the soup. the soup. behind the soup.

    Above, in, and behind are all prepositions. They are showing where the dolphin
    is. Prepositions, in addition, can show location in time. Read the next three
    examples:
    (At midnight), Jill craved mashed potatoes with grape jelly.

    (In the spring), I always vow to plant tomatoes but end up buying them
    canned at the supermarket.

    (During the marathon), Iaggy's legs complained with sharp pains shooting
    up his thighs.

    At midnight, in the spring, and during the marathon all show location in time.
    Because there are so many possible locations, there are quite a few
    prepositions. Below is the complete list.
    about concerning onto

    above despite on top of

    according to down out

    across during out of

    after except outside

    against except for over

    along excepting past

    along with for regarding

    among from round

    apart from in since

    around in addition to through

    as in back of throughout

    as for in case of till

    at in front of to

    because of in place of toward

    before inside under

    behind in spite of underneath

    below instead of unlike

    beneath into until

    beside like up

    between near upon

    beyond next up to

    but* of with

    by off within

    by means of on without
    BUT is a very seldom a preposition. When it is used as a preposition, but means
    the same as except--Everyone ate frog legs but Jamie. But usually functions
    as a coordinating conjunction.
