What are examples
of prepositions?

Simple vs complex prepositions

• Simple preposition (one word)

on, at, in, before, about, etc.

• Complex prepositions (two or more words)
  as far as, along with, in the event of, in exchange for, etc.

Complex prepositions

• There are no clear rules for them.
• The more you use English, the easier they get, as you will recognise them or passively know them.

Word order

• You can find the rules on pages 169 & 170
