What Is a Preposition?
“Vampires! Zombies! Werewolves!” “Where?!” “Behind you!”
Thank goodness for prepositions. Imagine not knowing where the danger lay…Prepositions tell us where or when something is in relation to something else.
Prepositions often tell us where one noun is in relation to another (e.g., The coffee is on the table beside you- Кофе на столе рядом с тобой.). But they can also indicate more abstract ideas, such as purpose or contrast (e.g., We went for a walk despite the rain- Мы пошли гулять несмотря на дождь.).
