INTRODUCTION
Do you know what roads, train tracks or bridges do? They
connect places. Without them, places may end up being
separated from each other. Now that’s what preposition
do too. They are connecting words in sentences. While
pronouns are the most basic parts of English grammar,
pronoun is a word that takes place of one or more nouns.
In this lesson we are expected to identify what are the

uses of prepositions and pronouns. What do they connect?
How are these prepositions and pronouns classified? Let’s
find out more about them.
PREPOSITION
A preposition is a word which is placed before a noun or a
pronoun to show its relation with something else in the
sentence.
Shows the relationship between a noun and another word
in the sentence such as;
·A verb
·And adjective
·Or other noun
A preposition can be
·One word (on, at, in…)
·A phrase (a group of words) ontop of, across from..

PREPOSITIION
Based on their use in a sentence:
·Preposition of place
·Preposition of time
·Preposition of movement
Based on the construction of prepositions themselves:

·Double preposition
·Compound preposition
·Participle preposition
Based on their use in a sentence, the
preposition are divided into categories of:

PREPOSITION OF

A preposition of time helps to link the noun or pronoun with a

on, across, at, by, for, after, towards.
·The cat has climbed up a tree.

·The children go off the bus.
·She ran along the pavement.
·The bus goes towards the market.
Based on the construction of prepositions
themselves, the prepositions are of four different
kinds:
·Simple prepositions
·Double prepositions
·Compound prepositions
Participle prepositions
SIMPLE PREPOSITIONS
Prepositions that consist of one word and are very simple to
understand. These are the most basic prepositions and are used
frequently.
Here are some examples for simple prepositions:

Above, under, around, through, after, on, before, about,
among, behind, along, near, down, in, at, across, between,
over.
·The paper is on my desk

·The man was standing under the tree.
·I will meet you near your house at 5 p.m.
·She is currently staying in a hotel.
DOUBLE PREPOSITIONS
Double preposition are two prepositions, but joined to make a
whole new one.

·Outside the house lies a beautiful garden.

·It is up to us to find way out.
·The dog jumped onto the bed.
·Once upon a time, there lived a king.
COMPOUND PREPOSITIONS
Compound prepositions are two word prepositions. Unlike
double prepositions, compound prepositions are not joined
and turned into a one word. They remain as two different
words.
Here are some examples for compound prepositions:
According to, apart from, close to, because of, far from,
next to, rather than, instead of, out of, due to, relating to,
in front of.

prepositions. A participle is actually a verb that ends with ‘-en’
or ‘-ing’.

failing, respected, provided, pending, considering,
notwithstanding, including.
·Everywhere my father went, his dog was following him.

·Ram is always curios about anything concerning Shyam.
·Everybody was invited to the function barring small children.
PRONOUNS
A pronoun is a word that can be used in the place of

noun. We do not repeat nouns in a sentence, it would
get tedious and lengthy. So instead we used pronouns.
Some examples of pronouns are she, her, he, his, theirs,
mines, yours etc.
CATEGORIES OF PRONOUNS
·Personal Pronouns
·Possessive Pronouns
·Demonstrative Pronouns
·Reflexive and Emphatic Pronouns
·Interrogative Pronouns
·Relative Pronouns
·Reciprocal Pronouns
·Indefinite Pronouns
PERSONAL PRONOUNS
The most frequently used pronouns are called personal
pronouns, they refer to people or things. Personal pronounce
may be classified by person, number, and case. In the English
language, there are three persons (first, second and third) each
of which can be divided into two forms by number (singular and
plural). The third person also can be distinguishes gender.
SUBJECT PRONOUNS OBJECT PRONOUNS
Subject pronouns are Object pronouns are used
used when the person or when the person or
thing is the subject of the thing

·It is my dog reprimand.
·You and I will meet ·The policeman
later. was looking for him.
·I will tell you a story.
POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS
Possessive pronouns are used to indicate possession or ownership.
Some occur as independent phrases. These pronouns (mine, yours,
his, hers, its, ours, theirs) cannot precede a noun. They are pronouns
and thus replace the noun.
Note: mine = my + noun; my book
yours = your + noun: your
pen
Ex.
·This is my book. This is mine.
·Your teacher is the same as his teacher.Your teacher is the
same as his.
·Her dress is green and my dress is red.Her dress is green and
mine is red.

time (that, those)
Ex.
·This tastes good.
·These are bad times.
·That is beautiful.
·Those were the days.
REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS
Reflexive pronoun is used with an active voice verb in order to
reflect the action of the verb back on the subject. We used
reflexive pronoun when we want to refer back to the subject of
the sentence or clause. They end with –self or selves. Examples
are (myself, yourself, yourselves, himself, herself, itself, ourselves,
themselves).
Ex.
·I washed myself.
·You yourself must do this homework.
·She prepared the nine-course meal herself.
INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS
These are simple spot. They are the pronouns generally use in
questions. They have 4 main pronouns: who, whom, what,
which.
Ex.
·Who told you about Mary’s wedding?
·What happened to your right leg?
RELATIVE
PRONOUNS
A relative pronoun is a pronoun that introduces a relative
clause. It is called a “relative” pronoun because it “relates”
to the word that it modifies. There are five relative
pronouns: who, whom, whose, which, that.
Ex.
·The person who phoned me last night is my teacher.
·The car which hit me is yellow.
·The car, whose driver jumped out just before the
accident, was completely destroyed.
RECIPROCAL PRONOUNS
We used reciprocal pronouns when each of two or more
subjects is acting in the same way towards the other. There
are only two reciprocal pronouns, and they are both two
words: each other, one another.
Ex.
·John and Mary love each other.
·The ten prisoners were all blaming one another.
·Why don’t you believe each other.
INDEFINITE
PRONOUNS
Opposite to the demonstrative pronouns, indefinite
pronouns refer to no particular thing or person, they talk
about non-specific things. Some indefinite pronouns are
another, everybody, no one, both, anyone, somebody,
others, many, nobody, everything and so on.
Ex.
·We can start the meeting because everybody has arrived.
·John likes coffee but not tea. I think both are good.
