English Prepositions List

Why 150 prepositions?
It is not possible to produce a definitive list of English prepositions. That means
that nobody can create a list of prepositions and say: “Here are all the
prepositions in the English language – no more and no fewer.” Why? Because
complex prepositions can theoretically be added to the language at any time.
This ebook lists all 94 one-word prepositions (which are unlikely to change or be
added to) and 56 complex prepositions (which may possibly be added to as the
language evolves). This total of 150 prepositions is comprehensive at the time
of writing, and represents all the prepositions currently found in a good English
dictionary such as the Concise Oxford Dictionary.
