Greetings to all!
Continuing with the English course promoted in this great community, I present my third assignment. I am always ready to acquire new knowledge and I do not want to miss the opportunity to improve my skills in this very important language.

On this occasion, as I already mentioned, I will present my homework related to the topic of Prepositions, as assigned by teacher
@abu78.
1.- Explain Preposition and give examples of preposition in sentence
Prepositions are usually invariable words or groups of words, used to indicate relationships of place, movement, direction or time; that is, they are terms that relate the different elements of a sentence.
Some prepositions can have more than one use, such as in, at and on that are used to indicate place or time. Prepositions have many peculiarities, for example, there are words that can be used as a preposition or conjunction (such as after or until), or as a preposition or adverb (inside and outside are some examples), and of course they are used to form the well-known phrasal verbs.
For the use of prepositions, some general rules must be taken into account:
- Generally, prepositions in English are followed by a noun phrase or a pronoun.
- Commonly, in English prepositions are placed after adjectives.
- In general, in formal English a preposition is never placed at the end of a sentence.
- Some nouns are always followed by a particular preposition.
Some examples of the use of prepositions are the following:
• The dog is running around the tree.
• We will see you at my house.
• The party is in the park.
• I go to that restaurant since 2015.
• She got into the house and closed the door.
• Does this bus go to Caracas?
• They live in Valencia.
• I’ll see you at the school.
• There is a lot of garbage on the floor.
• The stray cats live under the bridge.

i. The bone was ------------------the dog.
a. After
