Preposition: A preposition is a word or group of words that shows position, direction, or how two words or ideas are related to each other.
A preposition needs an object. If there is no object the the word is likely to be an adverb.
A prepositional phrase contains the preposition, the object of the preposition and any modifiers of the object.
