Here's why:
* Pang-angkop is a grammatical term in Filipino that refers to words like "ng", "sa", "kay", "para sa", "tungkol sa", etc.
* These words connect nouns or pronouns to other words in the sentence, showing their relationship.
* In English, prepositions fulfill the same function, connecting nouns or pronouns to verbs, adjectives, or other nouns.
Examples:
* Filipino: Ang libro ay nasa mesa. (The book is on the table.)
* English: The book is on the table.
In both sentences, the words "nasa" (Filipino) and "on" (English) function as prepositions, showing the relationship between the book and the table.
