Preposition – préposition
Let's Define It!
What's a *preposition*?
A preposition (in French: une préposition) can be described as a linking word.
It can connect two words. These words could be nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs
un sac à main -->handbag
la maison de papa --> dad's house
Je vais avec elle. I am going with her.
A preposition can also establish a relationship between a word and the remaining parts of a sentence.
L'homme est sur la colline. The man ison the hill
Please remember that prepositions take an object (usually a noun). Adverbs don't.
