Hello everyone. I am new here. I want to learn prepositions. I always find them confusing. [strike]I[/strike][strike]f there[/strike] Is anyone interested in teaching me? [strike]???[/strike] :roll:

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

Prepositions are confusing! They are very difficult for learners. I recommend learning an example sentence for each preposition in each of its uses.

Note my corrections to your post above, marked in red. It is important to follow these rules of written English:

- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with a single, appropriate punctuation mark.
- Always capitalise the word "I".
- Do not put a space before a comma, full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.
- Always put a space after a comma, full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.

With new members, posts containing links go into moderation and don't appear until someone has approved them. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but this is necessary to reduce advertising and spam. When you have posted ten times, it won't happen any more.

Bebe heart, please don't mind me saying this - even though you said ".. but from now on I will use them", you have not really used the rules posted by the teacher. Please read emsr2d2's corrections. The rules regarding the use of spaces and commas and full stops are mentioned in that post at the bottom.

It makes it easy to read your post if you follow these rules. Since the teachers are here to help us because of their kindness, we should try to make our posts as easy to read as possible, and not increase their work by making them read our posts again and again, and make them correct the same mistakes again.

I hope you understand.

Thank you
