Prepositions are little words that help us to establish relations between different elements of a sentence. They can show a movement, time and position relationship among two or more objects within the sentence. In English we have single prepositions, that is, an only word, and complex prepositions which are formed by more than one word.
POSITION OF THE PREPOSITIONS.
Prepositions normally go before the nouns or pronouns in the sentence.
Example
Mary goes with you. (Mary va contigo)
In questions it is frequent to find the preposition at the end of the sentence,
especially when they start by a question word.
Example
Who does Mary go with? (¿Con quién va Mary?)
When using a relative pronoun it is also frequent to find the preposition at the
end of the sentence.
Example
Mary is who we go with. (Mary es con quien vamos nosotros)
