From/in/on/to/...

Präpositionen sind Beziehungswörter. Sie stehen vor Substantiven und geben die Beziehung des Substantivs oder der Substantivphrase zum Rest des Satzes an. Hier sind ein paar Beispiele:

1. I walked around the park. (In welcher Beziehung stehe ich zum Park? "around" bzw. um ihn herum.)

2. She sat in/on the chair. (In welcher Beziehung steht sie zum Stuhl? "in" oder "on" bzw. auf ihm. (Wichtiger Hinweis hier: Die Verwendung einiger Präpositionen ist geografisch. Je nachdem, wo ein englischer Muttersprachler herkommt, sagen manche Leute zum Beispiel "sat in a chair" und andere "sat on a chair". Beides ist korrekt; es handelt sich lediglich um regionale Unterschiede in der Verwendung von Präpositionen).

Außerdem handelt es sich um eine "geschlossene" Wortklasse, d. h. es gibt eine bestimmte Anzahl von Präpositionen im Englischen und das sind die einzigen Präpositionen im Englischen. Diese Liste ist nicht additiv, wie es bei Substantiven, Adjektiven und Adverbien der Fall ist (wo ständig neue auftauchen oder gebildet werden).
