The correlatives must be attached to the corresponding words and
phrases; as, They gave me _neither_ money _nor_ shoes. I assisted _only_
in the evening, _not_ in the morning.
The preposition generally stands immediately before the word it governs;
as, We live _in_ Toronto.
1. When the noun has attributive adjectives, the preposition precedes
the adjective; as, I walked _through_ a beautiful park.
2. When the object of the preposition is a relative, the preposition
sometimes stands at the end of the clause; as, My brother owns the
building which he lives _in_, [_in which he lives_ is preferable.]
3. In poetry the preposition often follows its object; as, The heavy
night hung dark the hills and waters _o’er_.
4. When two verbs or adjectives in association are followed by different
prepositions, the prepositions must be repeated after each; as, He found
him a man whom he agreed _with_ on a few subjects, and differed _from_
on many; or, He found him a man _with_ whom he agreed on a few subjects,
_from_ whom he differed on many.
