A
preposition:
is a word that shows the relationship of one word (usually a noun
or a pronoun) to another word in the sentence.

Three
important rules about a preposition:
1. It is invariable.
2. Not the same preposition is used in
Spanish as in English, or that a
preposition is used in Spanish when
used in English
(and vice versa).
3. Spanish places preposition within the
sentence, or at the beginning of a
question; never at the end of a
sentence.
