Prepositions
Prepositions are words that stand in front of nouns or pronouns

Prepositions can be classified as follows
1. Prepositions of time
These refer to specific time periods
Some common words are
On - In - At - Since - For
Ago - Before - Until - By
For example

On Monday I'll work until 5:00 p.m
2. Prepositions of place
These words refer to a place where something or someone is located
Some common words are

Other types of prepositions include
Prepositions of agent

Conjunctions link other words, phrases or clauses together
