    Prepositions are essential parts of English grammar that indicate relationships between different elements in a sentence. Here are key rules for using prepositions correctly:

    1. Usage with Time: Prepositions like “at,” “in,” and “on” are used to indicate specific times or periods. For example, “at” is used with specific times (“at 3 o’clock”), “in” for months and years (“in May,” “in 2023”), and “on” for days (“on Monday”).

    2. Usage with Place: Prepositions such as “at,” “in,” “on,” “by,” “near,” and others are used to show location or direction. For example, “at” for a specific point (“at the station”), “in” for enclosed spaces (“in the room”), “on” for surfaces (“on the table”), and “near” for proximity (“near the park”).

    3. Usage with Movement/Directon: Prepositions like “to,” “from,” “through,” “into,” “onto,” etc., are used to indicate movement or direction. For instance, “to” shows movement towards a place (“to the store”), “from” indicates movement away from a place (“from the house”).

    4. Collocations: Some verbs are fixed with specific prepositions, and it’s important to learn these combinations. For instance, “depend on,” “listen to,” “arrive at,” etc.
