Upon learning about this assignment, and before I researched my topic, I had a faint memory of exactly what a preposition was, but I propose that they are next to us all the time, through thick and thin. I think that someone once told me that a preposition has to do with my relationship with a tree, whether I was on the tree, in front of the tree, behind the tree, or even in the tree.
A preposition locates where something is or when something is. I helps us understand how items in a sentence or an idea relate to each other. I could lean against the tree, jump off the tree, think about the tree, or something could be between the tree and me.
It would be unnecessary if I wanted to meet 'up with' the tree, or if I slipped off 'of' the tree, or even if I was hiding 'in back of' the tree(behind). There are some additionally proposed concepts here if you would like to learn more about prepositions.
