A preposition is a part of speech that typically precedes a noun or a pronoun in a sentence and defines its relationship (generally spatial or temporal) to some other word or words. In trying to depict the relatively small number of prepositions and prepositional phrases in English (British and American) I have used a basketball to illustrate the concept together with other items such as a cardboard box. So we might ask, "Where is the basketball in relation to the box?": the response would be the preposition in question: it is inside the box, outside the box, next to box, in front of the box, etc.

The set prepositional symbols below covers the top 100 as defined by the British National Corpus:

However, even though the list below is comprehensive, it does not cover every possible prepositional phrase and, thus, if there is a particular prepositional phrase that is required, it can be requested using the form at the bottom of this page.

To request any or all the prepositional symbols, the form at the bottom of this page may also be used.

The prepositions depicted below are arranged in alphabetical order and NOT in order of frequency of use.
