PREPOSITIONS- A NEW APPROACH

 PREPOSITION is a word that links two words in a sentence or phrase.

"I am living IN Nagapattinam"

"Is she going TO Chennai?"

"Where are you FROM?"

"Keep it INTO your pocket"

"English is spoken ACROSS the world BY millions OF People"

"One OF the pens is INSIDE the drawer OF my table located NEAR the wall mirror"

Capitalised above are prepositions.

Leading prepositions are, 

ON, IN, UNDER, NEAR, ACROSS, AROUND, ABOVE, BELOW, BETWEEN, INSIDE, OUTSIDE, INTO, ONTO, UP TO, TILL, ABOUT, OF, AT, AMONG, OVER, WITH, WITHIN, WITHOUT and so on.

We can't make sentences without contribution of PREPOSITIONS, so that the role of preposition is so important in the language.

PREPOSITON PHRASES are there in the language besides PREPOSITIONS.

Leading prepositions phrases are, 

ACCORDING TO

WITH A VIEW TO

BY VIRTUE OF

BY DINT OF

DUE TO

WITH REFERENCE TO

and so on.

These are used likely in simple sentences for wrapping a matter that may be expressed in a complex sentence.

"DUE TO heavy rain, the match was collapsed"

The complex sentence -"As it rained heavily, the match was collapsed" has been wrapped as a simple sentence by using the prepositional phrase DUE TO.

This is the main advantage of PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES.
