Prepositions are small but mighty words that show relationships between... Show more
Prepositions are short connecting words that establish relationships between nouns, pronouns, and other parts of a sentence. They're usually placed before nouns or pronouns and help us describe positions, directions, and timing in our everyday communication.
Prepositions serve several important functions in English. They indicate direction (showing where something is heading), time events (when things happen), locate objects (pinpoint positions), and establish spatial relationships (how objects relate to each other in space).
English has many types of prepositions based on their function. Prepositions of time like "on Wednesday" tell us when something happens. Prepositions of place like "on the table" tell us where objects are located. Prepositions of direction show movement, like "towards the park."
Quick Tip: Think of prepositions as relationship words - they show how one thing relates to another in terms of time, space, or direction!
Each preposition paints a specific picture. For example, "in" suggests being inside something (in the morning, in New York), while "on" suggests being on a surface (on Monday, on the table). Learning these subtle differences will make your English more precise.
Prepositions appear in countless everyday expressions. You might "visit the museum during your stay" or look for documents that are "under the book." These small words create clear mental images of where things are and when events happen.
Common prepositions you'll use daily include "on," "at," "in," "over," "through," "behind," "above," "below," "with," "to," "from," "between," and "by." Each one helps paint a specific picture of relationships between objects or events.
Some prepositions can be confusing because they have similar but distinct uses. The trio "in/on/at" often causes confusion - use "in" for general locations (in the city), "on" for surfaces or specific days (on Monday), and "at" for specific points or exact times (at noon).
Remember This: When in doubt about which preposition to use, think about the specific relationship you're trying to show - is it about time, location, direction, or something else?
Other tricky pairs include "to/from" (showing destination versus origin) and "by/with" (indicating proximity versus companionship). With practice, you'll develop an intuitive sense of which preposition fits best in each situation.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
