The Preposition

Prepositions as a class of words, are used to show how things are related in space or in time, they may express abstract relation and serve to connect the words in a sentence.

Accordingly prepositions may be divided into prepositions of place and direction (under, next to, towards etc.), prepositions of time (after, before, till, until etc) and those expressing abstract relations (by, with, because of, etc).

According their morphological composition prepositions are divided into:

- simple: at, by, from, in, on, with, etc;

- derived: before, inside, outside, into, within, etc;

- composite: in front of, instead of, in spite of, in case of, due to, thanks to, owing to, because of, etc.

Note that most prepositions in the Russian language don’t coinside with those in English. (E. g. The table is at the window- Стол у окна. The lesson begins at 8 o’clock. – Урок начинается в 8. I am angry with him. - Я сержусь на него.)
