Lesson 10Prepositions

English Preposition RuleThere is one very simple rule about prepositions. And, unlike most rules, this rule hasno exceptions.RuleA preposition is followed by a "noun". It is never followed by a verb.By "noun" we include:

noun (dog, money, love) proper noun (name) (Bangkok, Mary) pronoun (you, him, us) noun group (my first job) gerund (swimming)

A preposition cannot be followed by a verb. If we want to follow a preposition by averb, we must use the "-ing" form which is really a gerund or verb in noun form.

Quick Quiz: In the following sentences, why is "to" followed by a verb? That should beimpossible, according to the above rule:

I would like to go now. She used to smoke.

Here are some examples:

Subject + verb preposition "noun"

The food is on the table.

She lives in Japan.

Tara is looking for you.

The letter is under your blue book.


36/39


Pascal is used to English people.

She isn't used to working.

I ate before coming.

Answer to Quick Quiz: In these sentences, "to" is not a preposition. It is part of theinfinitive ("to go", "to smoke").
