In English, certain prepositions are traditionally paired with verbs to convey specific meanings. 'Towards' indicates direction and 'over' suggests movement across. Superstitions about ladders often involve avoiding walking 'under' them, instead 'around' is used to mean bypassing.

Be careful with prepositions; they can change the meaning of a sentence significantly. Prepositions often have more than one appropriate use, so consider context.
