3. Introduction
When we speak and write we use prepositions to relate a noun or pronoun to another word in a sentence. We use conjunctions to join parts of a sentence, and we use interjections to show emotion. Prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections are important parts of grammar. To learn more about prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections, follow these links.

4. Prepositions
A preposition comes before a noun or pronoun and relates that noun or pronoun to another word in the sentence.
Common prepositions are about, above, across, after, around, at, before, behind, by, down, during, for, from, in, into, near, of, on, over, to, under, and with.
Marianne’s dog walked down the stairs.
The bird flew above the clouds.
The cat ran behind the counter.

5. Prepositional Phrases
A prepositional phrase is a group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun.
A prepositional phrase makes a connection between two nouns or pronouns in a sentence.
The dogs ran around the park.
Heather walked over the bridge.

6. Object of a preposition
The object of a preposition is the noun or pronoun that follows the preposition. When a pronoun follows a preposition, it should be an object pronoun, such as me, you, him, her, it, us, or them.
The dog stood near the counter.

13. Coordinating Conjunctions
A coordinating conjunction joins parts of a sentence that are grammatically equal or similar. A coordinating conjunction shows that the parts it joins are similar in importance and structure.
Coordinating conjunctions always come between the words or clauses that they join.

14. Subordinating Conjunctions
A subordinate (or dependent) clause is a group of words that cannot stand alone- it depends on the rest of the sentence of its meaning. A clause always has a subject and a predicate. Subordinate clauses often being with a conjunction, such as after, because, when, if, since, though, or where.
A main clause is a group of words that can stand alone.
A subordinating conjunction joins a dependent clause with a main clause
After they left
We went to the park
We went to the park after they left

15. Subordinating Conjunction
Some subordinating conjunction include after, although, as long as, before, because, if, since, unless, until, wherever, while, and once.

You can go swimming as long as an adult is present.

16. Correlative Conjunctions

neither—nor
