The book is beneath the table. The book is leaning against the table. The book is beside the table. She held the book over the table. She read the book during class.
- 26. OBJECT OF THE PREPOSITION The Object of the Preposition Recognize an object of the preposition when you see one. Prepositions often begin prepositional phrases. To complete the phrase, the preposition usually teams up with a noun, pronoun, orgerund, or the object of the preposition. Here are some examples: At noon At = preposition; noon = noun or the object of the preposition. Behind them Behind = preposition; them = pronoun or the object of the preposition.

Between us only Between = preposition; us = pronoun or the object of the preposition; only = modifier. Without completely finishing Without = preposition; completely = modifier; finishing = gerund or the object of the preposition.

Prepositions are words like: on, over, to, from, about, for, against, with, between, etc. In general, a preposition “glues” a noun or pronoun into a sentence. That is, a preposition is only able to connect a noun element into a sentence. Preposition=Introduces a noun into the sentence.

Conjunctions are words like: and, but, or, because, then, etc. In contrast to a preposition, a conjunction can connect any two like elements together in a sentence. Most notably, conjunctions have the ability to connect verbs together. This means that conjunctions can connect two sentences together. Conjunctions=introduce verbs
