What's the difference between conjunctions and prepostions?How do we use them?

Certain words, such as after, before, sinceand until may function either as prepositions orsubordinate conjunctions. However it should be noted that in some cases different words must be

used as prepositions and subordinate conjunctions, in order to express similar meanings. This is

illustrated in the table below.

Differing Prepositions and Conjunctions

Meaning PrepositionConjunction

for this reason because of because

in spite of this despite although

at the time when during while

in a similar way like as if

In the following examples, the objects of the prepositions, and the verbs of the subordinate clauses

are underlined.

Preposition: They were upset because ofthe delay.Conjunction: They were upset because they were delayed.

Preposition:Despitethe rain, we enjoyed ourselves.Conjunction: Although it rained, we enjoyed ourselves.

Preposition: We stayed indoors during the storm.Conjunction: We stayed indoors while the storm raged.

Preposition: It looks like rain.Conjunction: It looks as ifit will rain.

In the above examples, it can be seen that the prepositions becauseof, despite, during and likehave the noun objects delay, rain and storm; whereas the subordinateconjunctionsbecause, although, whileand as ifintroduce subordinate clauses containing theverbs were delayed, rained, raged and will rain.

It should be noted that likeis sometimes used as a subordinate conjunction in informal English.e.g. It looks like it will rain.

However, this use oflikeis considered incorrect in formal English.
