WHAT ARE PREPOSITIONS ?

A  Preposition is a word that relates its object to some other word in the sentence.

Examples:
Susam leaned against the wall.
Into the swimming pool side the sanke.
The pitcher threw the ball to me.

In these sentences the words against, into and to are prepositions. Each relates the noun or pronoun after it to another word in the sentence. The noun or pronoun following a preposition is called the “object of the preposition”.

The words wall, swimming pool and me are objects of the preposition. Here is a list of commonly used prepositions.

about                          before
at                                   by
around                        but (except)

PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES : 
A prepositional phase is a group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with its object.
The preposition, its object, and all the words that modify the object combine to form a prepositional phase.
Example:
My sister lid behind the back door (door is the object of the preposition)
On christmas day, my parents visited. (Christmas is the object of the preposition)
The coach was looking for Julie. (Julie is the object of the preposition)
If a preposition has a compound object, all the parts of the objects are included in the prepositional phrase.
Example:
We used bricks made of white clay and grass.
