75+ Frequently Used Prepositions in English

Prepositions List

A preposition is a part of speech, just like a noun or a verb. It connects a noun or pronoun to another word in the sentence, showing us the relationship between them.

Prepositions usually answer the questions where or when. They often tell the location of a person or an object in time or space. This information is given as a group of words, rather than a single word. We call that group of words a prepositional phrase.

It is not possible to produce a definitive list of English prepositions. That means that nobody can create a list of prepositions and say: "Here are all the prepositions in the English language – no more and no fewer." Why? Because complex prepositions can theoretically be added to the language at any time.
