A PREPOSITION is a word which serves to connect words, and show the

relation between them.

The term _preposition_ is derived from the two Latin words, _pre_, which

signifies _before_, and _pono, to place_. Prepositions are so called,

because they are mostly placed before the nouns and pronouns which they

govern in the objective case.

The principal prepositions are presented in the following list, which

you may now commit to memory, and thus you will be enabled to

distinguish them from other parts of speech whenever you see them in

composition.
