Are adjectives the same as prepositions?

No, adjectives and prepositions are not the same. They are different parts of speech with distinct functions in a sentence.

Here's a breakdown:

Adjectives:

* Function: Modify nouns or pronouns, providing more information about them.

* Examples: big house, red car, happy child

* Position: Usually placed before the noun they modify, though sometimes they can come after.

Prepositions:

* Function: Show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence. They often indicate location, time, direction, or manner.

* Examples: on the table, in the house, after dinner, with a friend

* Position: Always precede a noun or pronoun, forming a prepositional phrase.

Here's a simple way to remember the difference:

* Adjectives describe things.

* Prepositions show where, when, or how things are.
