Prepositions and particles
Words such as in, over and with are prepositions. We commonly use prepositions to show a relationship in space or time or a logical relationship between two or more people, places or things. Prepositions are most commonly followed by a noun phrase, a pronoun or the -ing form of a verb. A particle is a word, normally an adverb, added to a verb to form a phrasal verb: He looked up. The plane took off. Click on a topic to learn more about prepositions and particles.
