Which words usually come after prepositions?

Prepositions are followed by nouns, pronouns, or noun phrases that act as the object of the preposition.

Here's a breakdown:

* Nouns: These are words that name people, places, things, or ideas.

* Example: "The cat sat on the mat." ("mat" is the noun acting as the object of the preposition "on")

* Pronouns: These words replace nouns.

* Example: "She went to the store." ("store" is the noun replaced by the pronoun "it" in the phrase "to it")

* Noun Phrases: These are groups of words that act like a single noun.

* Example: "He walked through the tall, green forest." ("the tall, green forest" is a noun phrase acting as the object of the preposition "through")

Common Prepositions:

* About, above, across, after, against, along, among, around, at, before, behind, below, beneath, beside, between, beyond, by, down, during, except, for, from, in, inside, into, like, near, of, off, on, onto, out, outside, over, past, since, through, to, toward, under, underneath, until, up, upon, with, within, without
