About Prepositions
Prepositions link a noun or pronoun to the rest of the sentence, showing place, time, direction or relation. The difficulty is idiomatic rather than logical: English fixes particular prepositions to particular verbs and adjectives, so “good at,” “married to” and “differ from” have to be learned as units rather than reasoned out.
