These can also be used as conjunctions.
Some prepositions, however, have more than one meaning and can be very confusing.
- in
- to
- on
- from
- at
- for
- of
Generally, in, on and at indicate location. See also: Prepositions of Location
- To and from imply movement toward or away from something. However, to can also function as part of an infinitive. See also: Infinitives.
- To and for can introduce indirect objects. See also: Indirect Objects
- For and since can also indicate duration. See also: Present Perfect Progessive
- Of is used in partitives (all of, some of . . .) and other expressions. See also: Quantifiers
