11. The Preposition






               Prepositions     show the relationship of a noun or a pronoun with another word in

          a sentence. They are usually followed by a noun or a pronoun.


               Examples :      (a) The fox jumped into         the well.


                                (b) Amit walked across        the field.

                                (c) The cat sits on    the sofa.


                                (d) We are playing under         the tree.


               A preposition is said to govern a noun or pronoun and is always followed by the

          objective case.
