Formulation of the Problem

2. Types of Preposition

There are many kinds of prepositions. Some of them are the simplest form. Many of them are monosyllabic such as in at, up, to, by, of, out, with, from, down, over, into, after, before, since, behind, above, etc. According to Mahmud in his book English for Muslim University Students there are types of preposition as follows: 1 Preposition of Location The common preposition used to indicate location or places are:  In being surrounded by something E.g. In the house  At presence, around E.g. at the house  On in contact with the surface of another object E.g. On the table  Across Opposite from E.g. across the street  Around near or all sides of E.g. around the house  Between in the space separating two things E.g. Mona is shitting between Mom and Dad  Among with or surrounded by E.g. Mona was standing among the boys  Throughout in all parts, all over E.g. Mona looked for her book throughout the room  Overabove higher than up in perpendicular direction from E.g. The sky is over above our head  Under lower than, down in perpendicular direction from Beneath E.g. Under the table  Below at the point lower than E.g. below the sea level 4 2 Preposition showing place or Position There are three kinds of prepositions that show the place or position, there are: a. The point it self In or inside Hang your coat in the closet In gives the area of something enclosed-a container, a drawer, a building There was no one inside in the house. Inside emphasizes the containment On put the dishes on the table on indicates the surface of something- a floor, a wall, a ceiling He‟s standing on top of the desk. On top of emphasizes the uppermost horizontal surface. It is used with an object that has some height At I‟m at school. At refers to general vicinity. Were presence at the place is indicated. At is also used for addresses with streets numbers – He lives at 200 Park Avenue but he lives on Park Avenue

b. Higher or lower than a point

1 Higher Over The plane flew over the mountains. Over is felt to be generally higher than a point. Above He lives on the floor above us above is felt to be directly higher than a point. This distinction between over and above is not always carefully observed. 2 Lower 4 Drs.
