What is a preposition in a sentence?



Hi there
Thank you for your question.
Prepositions of place indicate where something is located or situated. For example, the first sentence; “The cat is under the table”. The preposition here is under. In the second sentence: “He is going to the park in the afternoon”, this indicates when he is going to the park. The preposition ‘in’ reflects the morning, afternoon, evening and night. But keep in mind that we use ‘on’ when we talk about a specific morning, afternoon, etc., or when we describe the part of the day.
Other examples of prepositions of place are as follows: under, in, on, next to, above, below, opposite, on top of, inside and so forth.
I hope this answered your question and we look forward to assisting you with any further questions you may have.
