Prepositions

Understanding Prepositions

Rule 1 You may end a sentence with a preposition. Just do not use extra prepositions when the meaning is clear without them.
Rule 2 Use on with expressions that indicate the time of an occurrence.
Rule 3 0f should never be used in place of have.
Rule 4 Between refers to two. Among is used for three or more.
Rule 5 Into implies entrance, in does not.
Rule 6 The word like, when used to show comparison, is a preposition, meaning that it should be followed by an object of the preposition but not by a subject and verb. Use the connectors (also called conjunctions) as or as if when following a comparison with a subject and verb.
