Defined page L43-44 Preposition (P) – a special group of words that
connects a noun or pronoun to the rest of the sentence. Prepositions must have objects of prepositions. Object of the preposition (OP) – the noun or pronoun
after the preposition. To find the object of the preposition, find the preposition then ask what or whom.
If there is no object of the preposition, then the suspected preposition is usually an adverb.
For example: I fell down. Down has no object and is an adverb because it tells where I fell. I fell down the stairs. Down what? stairs = OP.
