| Preposition Rule There is one very simple rule about prepositions. And, unlike most rules, this rule has no exceptions. Rule A preposition is followed by a "noun". It is never followed by a verb. By "noun" we include: · noun (dog, house, love) · proper noun (name) (Athens, Maria) · pronoun (you, him, us) · noun group (my first house) · gerund (walking) A preposition cannot be followed by a verb. If we want to follow a preposition by a verb, we must use the "-ing" form which is really a gerund or verb in noun form. Here are some examples :
Subject verb | preposition | "noun"
The food is | on | the table.
She lives | in | Patra
