PREPOSITIONS

A preposition relates its object to some other word in the sentence. A preposition never appears alone. It is always used with a word or group of words called its object.
ex. Go into the house. (Into is a preposition; house is the object.)
Mrs. Jones fell off the ladder. (Off is a preposition; ladder is its object.)
