Prepositions are short words (on, in, to) that usually stand in
front of nouns (sometimes also in front of gerund verbs).
Even advanced learners of English find prepositions difficult, as
a 1:1 translation is usually not possible. One preposition in your
native language might have several translations depending on
the situation.
There are hardly any rules as to when to use which preposition.
The only way to learn prepositions is looking them up in a
dictionary, reading a lot in English (literature) and learning
useful phrases off by heart (study tips).
The following table contains rules for some of the most
frequently used prepositions in English:
