Kinds of Prepositions

3. Double prepositions
4. Participle prepositions
5. Phrase prepositions

In the above sentences, the prepositions in, under and through are used. The preposition in shows where the subject was, with regard to the room. In the second
sentence, the preposition under shows the relationship between the boat and the bridge. It shows how the boat passed the bridge. In the third sentence, the word
through is the preposition. It shows how the speaker saw a man. This person saw this other person through the window. In this way, simple prepositions are used in
sentences.

Compound prepositions
are the prepositions that are formed by adding the preposition to the front of a noun, an adjective or an adverb. Usually, in these constructions, if the prefix that is
added to the beginning of the noun, adverb or adjective is a it is equal to no; if that prefix is be, that is equal to the preposition by.
Compound prepositions are words like without, within, inside, outside, into, beneath, below, behind, between etc.

The teacher stood behind the desk.

She went to the party without me. (with + out)

They ran inside the building. (in + side)
She sat beside me on the bench. (by + side)
In the first sentence, the preposition without is made by adding with and the adverb out. In the second, the preposition inside is made by adding the noun side to the
preposition in. In the third sentence, the preposition beside is made by adding the preposition by to the noun side.

Double prepositions
Double prepositions are words like outside of, out of, from behind, from beneath etc.

Participle prepositions are words like concerning, notwithstanding, pending, considering etc.

Phrase prepositions are phrases like because of, by means of, with regard to, on behalf of, instead of, on account of, in opposition to, for the
sake of etc.

Prepositions and Adverbs-There are some words which can be used both as prepositions and as adverbs. If a word is used as a preposition it will
have a noun or pronoun as its object. Adverbs, on the other hand, do not have objects. They are used to modify a verb, adjective or another adverb.

Compare:

Please come in. (In adverb; no object)
He stood before me. (Before preposition; object me)
