Basic Uses of Prepositions

A preposition shows a relationship between its object and other words in a sentence. The preposition may be in the form of one word (at, by, in, on, etc.) or in the form of a phrase that functions as a unit (in front of, by way of, etc.)

Some of the relationships that prepositions express are place or position, time, manner, direction, and agent.
The book is on the desk. (place or position)
The boy ran toward the house. (direction)
The man arrived at ten o'clock. (time)
He travels by train. (manner)
The book was written by him. (agent)

A preposition + an object forms a phrase. This kind of phrase usually functions as a modifier (adjective or adverb).
The report of the meeting was read. (adjective)
We go to class at ten o'clock. (adverb)
