Free List of the 59 Most Common Prepositions - Alphabetical Order - Grammar

Juat for you awesome teacher, SLP and/or parent! I compiled a list of the 59 most common prepositions. This is a PDF that explains what prepositions are and lists the prepositions in alphabetical order. Great for grammar, reading, English classes and/or Speech Therapy for teaching your students the basic language concepts. For older students it has an easel ready activity and quiz.

Did you know that a preposition is so much more?

The word that follows the preposition, either a noun or a pronoun, is called the object of the preposition. Together the preposition and the object of the preposition make up the prepositional phrase. A prepositional phrase can function either as an adjective or an adverb, and when a preposition occurs in a sentence, it will always be part of a prepositional phrase. In the first example sentence above, "The truck drove over the river," "over" is the preposition, "the river" is the object of the preposition, and "over the river" is the prepositional phrase.

Because of the multiple meaning of words, the ordering of words was conducted by 1) taking the frequency of only preposition types, then 2) taking the frequency of (prepositions + other type), then finally 3) taking the frequency of (other type + prepositions).
