You can use pronouns as prepositions?

No, pronouns cannot be used as prepositions.

Pronouns are words that replace nouns (e.g., he, she, it, they, we, you, I).

Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence. They usually indicate location, direction, time, or manner. Examples include: on, in, at, to, from, by, with, etc.

Here's why pronouns can't be prepositions:

* Grammatical function: Pronouns function as subjects, objects, or possessors, while prepositions show relationships between words.

* Meaning: Pronouns don't express the kind of spatial, temporal, or directional relationships that prepositions do.
