 | The Ins & Outs of Prepositions by Jean Yates
Not only in and out, but also on, about, above, before, after, up, down, and many more -- a total of 61 prepositions are examined in this book. Though written primarily for students of English as a Second Language, The Ins and Outs of Prepositions is also used in remedial English courses on high school and college freshman levels. Unlike most languages -- which usually have only a few prepositions to serve many different communication needs -- English has dozens of them, and almost none follows any clear, consistent set of rules. This book offers practical guidelines for correct usage, and provides hundreds of examples that incorporate all of the prepositions into familiar contexts. AUTHOR: Jean Yates
