Explanation
A preposition is a word that typically shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other elements in a sentence. It indicates location, time, direction, manner, or other relationships. "Against" is a preposition. It is used to indicate a physical contact or collision between two objects or to express opposition or resistance. For example, "The book is leaning against the wall" or "They fought against injustice."

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.
