A preposition is a term or phrase used to show how one object relates to another object in space. Did you know the word "preposition" comes from Greek and Latin roots meaning "to place before.“?

Most of the time prepositions are used the same way in Spanish as they are used in English. But it may be confusing since one preposition in Spanish can have many different translations in English. Por ejemplo A This is a very common preposition that can mean to, at, by, or for depending on how it is used.
