在英语中，介词（Preposition）是一类词类，在句子中用来表示名词、代词或其他句子成分与其他单词之间的关系。介词通常放在名词短语或代词前面，用来说明时间、地点、方向、方式、原因、目的等概念。
分类常用介词
时间at（在）, in（在...之间）, on（在...上）
地点in（在...里面）, on（在...上）, at（在...处）, by（靠近...旁）, to（到...）
方向into（进入）, out of（出...）, through（穿过）, over（越过）, across（横穿）
位置in（在...里面）, on（在...上）, at（在...处）, by（在...旁）, near（靠近...）, beside（在...旁）, under（在...下）, above（在...上方）, below（在...下方）, between（在...之间）, among（在...之中）

  1. 介词不能单独使用。
  2. 介词只能接：名词、代词、动名词(动词+ing)。
  3. 介词接词后变成了“介词短语”，形成了一个小的“介宾结构”。
介词总会出现在句子的前、后，补充说明一些时间、地点等，或者做为一个句子的定语。介词短语是一个句子非常强大的补充！
