Step-by-step explanation:

Prepositions are words we use to connect different nouns, pronouns, and phrases in a sentence and express what kind of relationship is present between them. Depending on what this relationship is like, prepositions can be prepositions of time (e.g. during, for, until, since, ago), place (on, in, behind, above), movement (to, towards, into, through), agent (by), instrument (by, with, on), possession (of, with), etc. One preposition can have multiple meanings.
