Here are the properly punctuated notes from the English lecture: Rani Mam's 9th Lecture: Prepositions Focus: Phrasal Verbs (70% of exam coverage) Fixed Prepositions Other Prepositions: in, on, upon, under, over (brief coverage) What is a Preposition? Shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence. Another word can be: ○ Noun ○ Pronoun ○ Verb ○ Adjective Breakdown: Pre + Position ○ Used before a noun or pronoun. Examples: 1. "There is a book on the table." ○ "On" (preposition) shows the relationship between "book" (noun) and "table" (noun). 2. "He is fond of music." ○ "Of" (preposition) shows the relationship between "fond" (adjective) and "music" (noun). 3. "He got off the bus." ○ "Off" (preposition) shows the relationship between "got" (verb) and "bus" (noun). 4. "He died of cancer." ○ "Of" (preposition) shows the relationship between "died" (verb) and "cancer" (noun). 5. "He was standing near the house." ○ "Near" (preposition) shows the relationship between "standing" (verb) and "house" (noun). 6. "The aeroplane flew over my house." ○ "Over" (preposition) shows the relationship between "flew" (verb) and "house" (noun). Position of Prepositions in a Sentence: Can be used: ○ At the beginning ○ In the middle ○ At the end of a sentence. ○ Examples: "By looking at this example..." "At that time of the opening ceremony..." "The book is on the table." Prepositions vs. Adverbs: Preposition: Always used before a noun or pronoun. Adverb: Used to describe a verb without a following noun. Examples: 1. "Let's move on." ○ "On" is used as an adverb (no noun follows). 2. "The book is on the table." ○ "On" is used as a preposition (follows the noun "table"). 3. "Come in and help me." ○ "In" is used as an adverb (no noun follows). Key Differentiation: Preposition: Must be followed by a noun or pronoun. Adverb: Modifies a verb directly. I hope these notes are helpful!
