Features: For most English learners, prepositions are undoubtedly a major challenge in the process of learning English. Although the number of prepositions is not large, they are one of the most active words in the English language. To some extent, English is a language of prepositions. Therefore, mastering the rules of prepositions undoubtedly brings significant benefits to English learning. The difficulty in mastering prepositions lies in part on the fact that most prepositions have multiple meanings. On the other hand, prepositions can be paired with various parts of speech, which makes them even more complex and confusing when combined with different word classes, making it hard to discern patterns at a glance. The purpose of writing English Prepositions is to unveil the mystery of prepositions, analyze their essence, integrate their usage and collocations, and strive to present their origins and rules to a broad readership. This book aims to have a clear structure, fluent and substantive content, and to systematize the usage and patterns of prepositions. The objective of this book is to provide readers with some benefit in their English learning through the process of unraveling the complexities of prepositions.
