French Prepositions

Prepositions are words which link two related parts of a sentence. They are placed in front of nouns in order to indicate a relationship between that noun and the verb, adjective, or noun that precedes it.

Example:
La Poste est à côté de la banque mais derrière le restaurant. Avant d’aller à la poste, arrête-toi au supermarché qui est près du boulanger et en face du poissonnier. Ne part pas sans la lettre !
