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）

目的for（为了）, to（到...）
方式with（用...）,without（没有...）, by（通过...方式）

  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！
