Prepositions are words like: around, on, in, to, above, from, of, between; you can see a full list here: https://www.englishclub.com/grammar/prepositions-list.htm. I was taught it’s what you can do to a mountain, but that doesn’t really cover all of them.
I’ve thought about this before, I see my husband and his siblings struggle with “in” and “on,” because those are the same word in Spanish, the word “en.“ Also, the words “of” and “for” are both “de” in Spanish.
In a recent discussion someone was trying to tell the audience that it’s not freedom of religion, but rather freedom from religion. Even I have trouble with that, but to my husband I think that would sound exactly the same because of his first language.
What are some examples of confusing prepositions.
