Good evening friends. Last night we talked about a few more prepositions and their uses. Now let's talk about more uses of some prepositions.
at/in/on
He is at home. but - He is in the house.
We are at the station.
but - We are in/on the train.
She is on her bicycle.
but - She is in her blue dress.
A calender is hanging on the wall.
but - There is a nail in the wall.
There were many people in the shop.
but - Turn left at the next shop.
A steamer is peddling in the Buriganga.
but - Ahsan Manjil stands on the Buriganga.
There was a serious accident in the road.
but - There are many many vehicles running on the road.
Now let's talk about how prepositions can also be used as adverbs. In fact prepositions used adverbially are called adverb particles. Look below:
He rode on a bicycle. (preposition)
but, He went on. (adverb particle)
We went down the lane. (preposition)
but - A stone came rolling down. (adverb particle)
Jack and Jill went up the hill. (preposition)
but - A fireball went up. (adverb particle)
That's all for now. Feel free to ask any question. Good night. Sweet dreams.
