With an underdeveloped system case endings Prepositions in English play an extremely important role in expressing grammatical relationships. These suggestions include of , to , by , with. These prepositions can express those meanings that are conveyed in Russian by the endings of oblique cases: of- parental, to- dative, with, by- creative. As a rule, in these cases they are not translated into Russian.

My table is in the middle of the room.
My desk is in the middle of the room. (genus p.)

This is a book of my brother.
This is my brother's book. (genus p.)

The teacher explained the new rule to the pupils.

I was invited by my friend. (creative p.)

He sharpened his pencil with a pen-knife.
He sharpened his pencil with a penknife. (creative p.)

I am writing with a pencil.
I write with a pencil. (creative p.)

The preposition in this case does not have a separate meaning and is translated into Russian only together with the word (noun or pronoun) to which it refers.

Prepositions of place, direction and time

According to their meaning, prepositions can be divided into several groups, the main ones are:

on- on (on the surface of an object)
behind behind (behind another object)
over- above

Verbs with prepositions in English

Some verbs change their meaning depending on the preposition following them:

to look- look
to look for- search
to look through- view
to look in- drop in

A verb with a preposition should be perceived and remembered as a separate word, since its meaning is somewhat different from the meaning of the original verb. In phrasal verbs, it often goes far from the meaning of the words included in it.

Prepositions similar in form to adverbs

Some prepositions coincide in form with adverbs. Such prepositions can be distinguished from adverbs only by the function they perform in the sentence. Prepositions only express the relationship between nouns (or pronouns) and other words in a sentence. They, therefore, do not perform an independent function in the sentence and therefore are not members of the sentence. They don't get stressed. Adverbs perform an independent function in the sentence - they define the verb and are members of the sentence. The emphasis falls on them:

Didn't go up the stairs.(Pretext)
He went up the stairs.

I looked up and saw an airplane flying very low.(Adverb)
I looked up and saw a plane flying very low.

Before the war he lived in Leningrad.(Pretext)
Before the war he lived in Leningrad.

I have read this book before.(Adverb)
I have read this book before.

We'll go there after dinner.(Pretext)
We will go there after lunch.

I never saw him after.(Adverb)
Subsequently, I never saw him.

Some adverbs that coincide in form with prepositions ( in , on , up , down , by etc.), are used in combination with some verbs, expressing a single concept with them. Such combinations of verbs with adverbs form phrasal verbs. Although the adverb in this case does not perform an independent function, the stress falls on it:

Put on your coat.
Put on your coat.

Doesn't get up very early.
He gets up very early.

Come in, please.
Come in, please.

Go on reading.
Continue reading,

turn off the light.
Put out the light.

Place of a preposition in a sentence

Translation: prepositions, case endings

What I love about English prepositions is the ability to completely change the meaning of the main word with the help of one such small word. It was "look" look at), and it became:

. "search" ( look for)
. "to have an opinion" ( look upon)
. "take care" ( look after)
. "forgive" ( look over)
. "track" ( look to).

Juggling with English prepositions is aerobatics. If you learn this art, you will enrich your vocabulary and cause a roar of approval with your speech.

Many English learners treat prepositions with some arrogance, believing that this is like a student repeating the English alphabet at night. Underestimated. But in vain. Yes, prepositions are considered official, they do not answer any questions, but they allow you to get different meanings from the same verb, form cases (yes, the same ones that are in Russian) and do other interesting things. There is only one problem: there are MANY prepositions in English. But this does not mean that you need to learn them all right here and now. It is enough to know the basic ones, as well as to understand the division into groups.

Let's not waste time on the fact that prepositions are simple monosyllabic, polysyllabic, consisting of several words, blah blah blah. Let's get straight to the point and provide not only tables of prepositions in English, but also illustrative examples in pictures. We will also consider the use of prepositions with examples.

1. Prepositions of place and direction (spatial)

2. Prepositions are temporary

Consider the most basic ones: about, after, at, during, for, in, on, till, within.

about	about (approximately, approximately)	It's about 6 p.m. (Now around 6pm)
after	after	Summer comes after spring. (Summer comes after spring)
at	V	Let's meet at 10 a.m. (Meet me at 10 am)
during	during	She was sleeping during the whole lesson. (She slept during the whole lesson)
for	during	He laughed for 5 minutes. (He laughed for 5 minutes)
in	through	I'll be home in 10 minutes. (I'll be home in 10 minutes)
on	By	I usually go shopping on Fridays. (I usually go shopping on Fridays)
till	before	I won't go shopping till Sunday. (I won't go shopping until Sunday)
within	during, for	You must do it within a month. (You must do it in a month)

3. Causal prepositions

because of- because;
on account of- due to, due to;
thanks to- thanks to;
in accordance with- according to, in accordance with.

As you can see, the same preposition can be in different groups (for example, in or on are both temporal and spatial). Moreover, if you open any dictionary (well, at least the same Yandex) and select any preposition, you will be surprised by the number of values. Let's say the most commonly used English preposition is to can have 13 values ​​(do not be lazy, take a look).

Let's talk a little about the nuances before suggesting that you go into battle section "tests", where the first linguistic tests for knowledge of prepositions await you.

SUGGESTIONS SING IT!

Yes, yes, just sing or even read. Once you're familiar with the basic prepositions, try out Eminem, Timati, or any rapper you like. Not enough ideas for the text yet? Mix suggestions! Knowing small and remote prepositions is very cool. Check it out by watching the video and feel like a rising rap star.

ENGLISH PREPOSITIONS AND RUSSIAN CASES. We remember the second class.

Genitive case (of whom? What?) - preposition of
Show me the plan of the house.

Dative case (to whom? What?) - preposition to
Give it to me.

Accusative case (whom? what?) - without a preposition
Give me a pen.

Instrumental case (by whom? What?) - preposition with
She was cutting the letter with scissors.

Prepositional case (about whom? about what?) - preposition about
Don't speak about me.

PLACE OF THE PROPOSITION IN THE SENTENCE

Every pretext know your place!

In general, the preposition is supposed to be placed BEFORE the noun or pronoun (if the noun has an article or a definition, then it cannot be broken)

Put the book onthetable.
Give it to me.
The shop is behind the green house.
You must do it with in two months.

In interrogative sentences (which begin with what, where, etc.), the preposition is placed at the end:

What city do you live in?
Who are you waiting for?

The remaining cases are associated with the use of prepositions in subordinate clauses, passive constructions. All this will be more relevant to study in the "Syntax" section.

It is very useful to learn tablets where the preposition has already grown together with a certain noun. Useful for everyday communication.

by	By mistake By accident By chance By the way By bus/train/car Day by day step by step	by mistake accidentally accidentally By the way by bus/train/car day after day step by step
for	For a walk/dance/drink/swim For breakfast/dinner	go for a walk/dance/drink/swim for breakfast/lunch
in	In fact In case In the future In love In time In the morning/evening/afternoon	In fact when in future in love during morning/evening/afternoon
on	On-television On holiday/ a trip on foot	on TV on vacation / on a trip on foot
at	At home/work At night At present	at home/at work at night Now

By the way, about the last three prepositions. They won a special place under the sun and formed their own caste - prepositions of place. Why it is necessary to collect a dossier on them no less than on a counterintelligence agent, the specially dedicated to them will tell and prove.

Just valuable advice : since it is impossible (and not necessary) to learn ALL prepositions at the first time of learning, when you write out the next new verb from the dictionary, mark yourself at least 2 options with different prepositions.

For example:

Put- put
Put on- to bet on (smth., smth.)
Put across- deceive

When it becomes a habit, you will one day be pleased to discover that the use of the verb comes out masterfully: in different meanings depends on a situation. This will decorate your speech and get rid of any pauses and “mmm”, “uh”, “aah”. In the meantime, the problem exists, then you need to solve it, starting with passing a thematic test about prepositions.

Have you sorted the predogs into shelves in your head? There are spots even on the Sun, so we suggest once again (which is not superfluous at all) to go through the pretexts by watching a video tutorial on the topic. After watching and several years of practice, you can safely assign yourself the honorary title of "guru".

This article will focus on English prepositions and the rules for their use.

Hello my blog followers and guests! I hope you enjoyed the past holidays and returned to work rested and with bright emotions. It is always very difficult to start working after a long weekend, but nothing can be done.

Under New Year I have received a large number of letters from kind words and congratulations, friends! Thank you very much, it was very nice! I am very glad that my articles are useful. It is very important for me!

Once again, I congratulate everyone on the upcoming 2014 and the upcoming holiday of the Old New Year! Best wishes to you and your families! Have a wonderful year! Enjoy life!

I will tell you about the rules for their use, and also go over the rest of the prepositions of the English language.

A preposition is a function word that expresses various relationships between words in a sentence or phrase.

Prepositions in, at, on, to, of.

1. The preposition "in"

We use this word when something is INSIDE of something. For example:

I'm in the car.

(I'm in the car)

The gift is in the box.

(Gift in a box)

We are in the train.

(We are on the train)

These thoughts are in my head.

(These thoughts are in my head)

You're in my dreams.

(You are in my dreams)

This key is in my fist.

(This key is in my fist)

Also, the preposition "in" is used when naming the time of the year: in January (in January), in February (in February), in summer/winter/autumn/spring (in summer/winter/autumn/spring), in the evening/morning /midnight (in the evening, in the morning, at midnight), etc. BUT " At the end of smth!

I always take my exams at the end of December.

(I always take my exams at the end of December)

I'm going to visit London in February.

(I am going to visit London in February)

It seems to be not difficult, but sometimes it is really difficult to use this preposition correctly. When I first started learning English, I was always confused about the difference between "at" and "in". I couldn’t decide how to say “I’m in the school” or “I’m at school” correctly. I'll try to explain the difference.

2. The preposition "at" - on, in.

We use "at" when:

- we are in some place (most often public) and we are engaged in some kind of activity there. For example, we study, work, etc.:

I'm at hospital (I'm in the hospital)

(Or "I'm at the hospital"). You can say this and that. (you can read about articles in the article)

This means that I am probably sick, I am in the hospital and being treated. Also, I can visit someone there, etc.

I'm at university.

(I am at the university)

This means that I sit in pairs and study.

I'm at the supermarket.

(I'm at the supermarket)

It means I'm shopping.

(I'm at work)

I am working.

(I'm home). Just remember this phrase.

I'm at my friend's.

(I'm at my friend's)

This means that I'm visiting my friend.

I'm at my girlfriend's/my brother's/my sister's.

(I'm with my girlfriend/brother/sister), etc. The same meaning - I'm away.

Remember these designs!

Every New Year's eve we seat at the table with my family and celebrate each other.

(Every New Year we gather at the table with the whole family and congratulate each other)

- when talking about time, we also use "at":

(At seven o'clock)

I wake up at six o'clock.

(I wake up at six o'clock).

(You can read about how to call time in English in the article)

To be honest, even now I sometimes confuse the use of "at" and "in". But I'm not very worried about this, because this is not a strong mistake;) If you get confused, it's okay, over time you will feel the difference. But, nevertheless, we must try to speak correctly.

I'm at the airport (I'm in the airport). Not a serious mistake.

3. The preposition "on" - on.

We use "on" when:

- something is located on something.

The bottle is on the table.

(The bottle is on the table)

My flat is on the second floor.

(My apartment is on the second floor)

We are talking about the days of the week.

I'll come to you on Sunday.

(I will come to you on Sunday)

I'll start working on Monday.

(I will start working on Monday)

Let's see on Friday.

(Let's see you Friday)

We use an electronic device to talk. For example:

Hi, I'm sorry I'm on my cellphone and I can't send you a letter right now.

(Hi, sorry, I'm on my cell phone right now, so I can't send you an email)

I'm on my tablet, so let's speak on voice chart when I come home.

(I'm talking to you on my tablet right now, so let's have a voice chat when I get home)

4. The preposition "to" - in, on, to.

I had problems with this preposition at the very beginning of the study. But you only need practice to get used to it and use it automatically.

We use it when we are heading somewhere to indicate direction.

I go to work five days a week.

(I go to work 5 days a week)

I'm going to university.

(I'm going to the university)

I'm going to Moscow.

(I'm going to Moscow)

I'm going to a supermarket.

(I go to the supermarket)

I'll come to you tomorrow.

(I will come to you tomorrow)

BUT, we DO NOT USE "TO" with the following words: to go abroad (to go abroad), to go underground (to go to the subway), to go downtown (to go to the city center), to go somewhere/anywhere (to go somewhere) , to go there/here (go there/here), to go in/inside (go inside), to go out/outside (go outside), to go upstairs/downstairs (go up/down the stairs). REMEMBER THEM!

I'm going there.

(I go there)

I'm going abroad.

(I'm going overseas)

Also, the preposition "to" conveys the meaning of the dative case in Russian.

I'll give it to you.

(I'll give it to you)

I'll sing this song to you.

(I'll sing this song to you)

And of course, “to” is used with the infinitive: to go (walk), to read (read), etc.

5. Preposition "of".

Not a very difficult suggestion. As you know, it conveys the meaning of the genitive case in Russian.

A friend of my sister.

(Friend of my sister)

A teacher of this university.

(Lecturer at this university)

But sometimes this preposition can correspond to the meaning of the preposition "about" - about (something). For example:

I'm thinking of this problem.

(I think about this problem)

I'm thinking of going abroad.

(I'm thinking about going abroad)

We have to talk about the facts.

(We must talk facts)

So keep that in mind ;)
