PREPOSITIONS
A preposition
is a word or set of words that indicates location (in, near, beside, on top of) or some other relationship
between a noun or pronoun and other parts of the sentence (about, after, besides, instead of, in
accordance with). A preposition isn't a preposition unless it goes
with a related noun or pronoun, called the object of the preposition.
Examples:
Let's meet before noon.
Before is a preposition; noon is its object.
We've never met before.
There is no object; before is an adverb modifying met.

Prepositions with Nouns, Adjectives,
and Verbs.
Prepositions
are sometimes so firmly wedded to other words that they have practically become
one word. (In fact, in other languages, such as German, they would have become
one word.) This occurs in three categories: nouns, adjectives, and verbs.
