In ""Before"", a man in red breeches sits on a green-draped bed, lustily pulling a woman towards him. An open drawer in a dressing table reveals two books, ""The Practice of Piety"" at the front and hidden at the back a book on courtship and a love letter.

"""by"", ""before"", ""after"", ""during"", ""through"", ""in spite of"" or ""despite"", ""between"", ""among"", etc. A preposition is usually used with a noun phrase as its complement. A preposition together with its complement is called a prepositional phrase. Examples are ""in England"", ""under the table"", ""after six pleasant weeks"", ""between the land and the sea"". A prepositional phrase can be used as a complement or post-modifier of a noun in a noun phrase, as in ""the man in the car"", ""the start of the fight""; as a complement of a verb or adjective, as in ""deal with the problem"", ""proud of oneself"";"
"Preposition and postposition Prepositions and postpositions, together called adpositions (or broadly, in English, simply prepositions), are a class of words used to express spatial or temporal relations (""in"", ""under"", ""towards"", ""before"") or mark various semantic roles (""of"", ""for""). A preposition or postposition typically combines with a noun or pronoun, or more generally a noun phrase, this being called its complement, or sometimes object. A preposition comes before its complement; a postposition comes after its complement. English generally has prepositions rather than postpositions – words such as ""in"", ""under"" and ""of"" precede their objects, such as ""in England"", ""under the table"","

"of modifier and the rules of syntax for the language in question. A modifier placed before the head is called a premodifier; one placed after the head is called a postmodifier. For example, in ""land mines"", the word ""land"" is a premodifier of ""mines"", whereas in the phrase ""mines in wartime"", the phrase ""in wartime"" is a postmodifier of ""mines"". A head may have a number of modifiers, and these may include both premodifiers and postmodifiers. For example: In this noun phrase, ""man"" is the head, ""nice"" and ""tall"" are premodifiers, and ""from Canada"" and ""whom you met"" are postmodifiers."
"depend on the position of the speaker (projective), whereas the meaning of ""on the desk"" is not (non-projective). Sometimes the interpretation is ambiguous, as in ""behind the house"", which may mean either at the natural back of the house, or on the opposite side of the house from the speaker. There are often similarities in form between adpositions and adverbs. Some adverbs are derived from the fusion of a preposition and its complement (such as ""downstairs"", from ""down (the) stairs"", and ""underground"", from ""under (the) ground""). Some words can function both as adverbs and as prepositions, such as ""inside"", ""aboard"","
"houses, to drinking. Each verse wishes good luck to a new subject, which is then added to the beginning of the litany recited in the second line of the refrain. The song has several variations. The 12 terms between ""landlord"" and ""round bowl"" are English units—particularly units used to measure the volume of alcoholic beverages. These are sung in descending order from largest (barrel) to smallest (round bowl). ""Round bowl"" (sometimes sung ""brown bowl"") indicates either a humble, wooden bowl, or a person's hands cupped together into the shape of a bowl. It can also refer to the small bowl"
"Pre-nominal letters Pre-nominal letters are a title which is placed ""before"" the name of a person as distinct from a post-nominal title which is placed ""after"" the name. Examples of pre-nominal titles, for instance professional titles include: Doctor, Captain, Eur Ing (European Engineer), Ir (Ingenieur), CA (Indian Chartered Accountant) and Professor; whilst other common social titles are Mr., Master, The Honorable, Ms., Mrs. and Miss. Pre-nominal letters are generally social, but can be professional in nature (e.g. Eur Ing). In some Continental European countries all academic degrees were traditionally pre-nominal. Pre-nominal academic degrees in German-speaking countries include: ""Dipl.-Ing."" (Master's degree"
"I before E except after C ""I before E, except after C"" is a mnemonic rule of thumb for English spelling. If one is unsure whether a word is spelled with the sequence ""ei"" or ""ie"", the rhyme suggests that the correct order is ""ie"" unless the preceding letter is ""c"", in which case it is ""ei"". For example: The rule is very well known; Edward Carney calls it ""this supreme, and for many people solitary, spelling rule"". This rule applies to the “ē” (long e) sound as it is demonstrated in all the aforementioned examples. However, the short form"
"'boat-house' would allow the ambiguous readings of either 'a kind of house' and/or 'a kind of boat'. It is only with second-merge that order is derived out of a set {a {a, b}} which yields the recursive properties of syntax--e.g., a 'House-boat' {house {house, boat}} now reads unambiguously only as a 'kind of boat'. It is this property of recursion that allows for projection and labeling of a phrase to take place ; in this case, that the Noun 'boat' is the head of the compound, and 'house' acting as a kind of specifier/modifier. External-merge (first-merge) establishes substantive 'base structure'"

The nominative case is used for pronouns that are the subject of the sentence, such as """"I"" already did that"" or ""Will ""you"" please stop making that noise?"" The objective case is used for pronouns serving as the direct or indirect objects, such as ""I told ""him"" to wash the dishes"" or ""The teacher gave ""me"""
"Wassailing The tradition of wassailing (""alt sp"" wasselling) falls into two distinct categories: the house-visiting wassail and the orchard-visiting wassail. The house-visiting wassail is the practice of people going door-to-door, singing and offering a drink from the wassail bowl in exchange for gifts; this practice still exists, but has largely been displaced by caroling. The orchard-visiting wassail refers to the ancient custom of visiting orchards in cider-producing regions of England, reciting incantations and singing to the trees to promote a good harvest for the coming year. The word ""wassail"" comes from the Anglo-Saxon greeting ""Wæs þu hæl"", meaning ""be thou"
"etc. The তুমি ""tumi"" and সে ""she"" conjugations are identical in this tense. Whereas English features ""pre""positions, Bengali typically uses ""post""positions. That is, while these modifying words occur before their object in English (beside him, inside the house), they typically occur after their object in Bengali (""or pashe, ""baŗir bhitore). Some postpositions require their object noun to take the ""possessive case"", while others require the ""objective case"" (which is unmarked for inanimate nouns); this distinction must be memorised. Most postpositions are formed by taking nouns referring to a location and inflecting them for ""locative case"". Bengali grammar Bengali grammar ("
"for us"". Another very common type of adverb phrase is the prepositional phrase, which consists of a preposition and its object: ""in the pool""; ""after two years""; ""for the sake of harmony"". Prepositions form a closed word class, although there are also certain phrases that serve as prepositions, such as ""in front of"". A single preposition may have a variety of meanings, often including temporal, spatial and abstract. Many words that are prepositions can also serve as adverbs. Examples of common English prepositions (including phrasal instances) are ""of"", ""in"", ""on"", ""over"", ""under"", ""to"", ""from"", ""with"", ""in front of"", ""behind"", ""opposite"","

The adverb for ""home(wards)"" is formed with and the noun ""place, town, homestead"" to give , whereas the noun ""house, home"" can be used unchanged to convey the same meaning. The language has a number of adverbs corresponding to English ""up"" and ""down"", the meaning of which depend upon such things as motion or lack thereof and starting point in relation to the speaker.

"Houses were Archer, Henderson, Hilliard and School. School House is reserved for boarders, although non-boarders can now be placed into this house to supplement the numbers. Boys are usually put into their family house, the same house as their father or grandfather or brother. Each House has a House Captain and a maximum of 3 House Vice-Captains, with the majority of houses also having an unlimited amount of Prefects (Students can be both Prefects and House Captain/House Vice-Captain). Each year the different houses compete for the House Cup in a variety of activities such as swimming, track and field, touch"
"the time of naming the houses because some housemasters moved to houses named after their colleagues. Robinites was a 'back passage house' when the school first moved to Godalming and boys stayed there for no more than two years until they could be transferred to one of the other houses. It now has normal status. There was also another passage house known as Laleham, but this has ceased to exist. All pupils belong to one of the 12 houses, and boarding boys will sleep in the boarding house; their housemaster will live in ""private side"" attached to the house. Charterhouse"
"Notice that in English, simple adjectives are usually used as premodifiers, with occasional exceptions such as ""galore"" (which always appears after the noun) or the adjectives ""immemorial"" and ""martial"" in the phrases ""time immemorial"" and ""court martial"" (the latter comes from French, where most adjectives are postmodifiers). Sometimes placement of the adjective after the noun entails a change of meaning: compare ""a responsible person"" and ""the person responsible"", or ""the proper town"" (the appropriate town) and ""the town proper"" (the area of the town as properly defined). It is sometimes possible for a modifier to be separated from its head"
"adjuncts (nouns qualifying another noun) also generally come before the nouns they modify: in a phrase like ""book club"", the adjunct (modifier) ""book"" comes before the head (modified noun) ""club"". By contrast, prepositional phrases, adverbs of location, etc., as well as relative clauses, come after the nouns they modify: ""the elephant in the room; ""all the people here; ""the woman to whom you spoke"". (These remarks apply to English syntax; other languages may use different word order. In Chinese, for example, virtually all modifiers come before the noun, whereas in the Khmer language they follow the noun.) Sometimes a noun"

"416]. The fact that English has words like ""before"" and ""after"" that are (currently or archaically) polysemous between 'front/earlier' or 'back/later' may seem to refute the claims regarding Aymara uniqueness. However, those words relate events to other events and are part of the moving-events metaphor. In fact, when ""before"" means ""in front of ego, it can mean only ""future"". For instance, ""our future is laid out before us while ""our past is behind us"". Parallel Aymara examples describe future days as ""qhipa uru"", literally 'back days', and they are sometimes accompanied by gestures to behind the speaker. The same applies"
"'true', since Lassie is famous. Some concepts and expressions are such that they don't apply to objects individually, but rather serve to relate objects to objects. For example, the words ""before"" and ""after"" do not apply to objects individually—it makes no sense to say ""Jim is before"" or ""Jim is after""—but to one thing in relation to another, as in ""The wedding is before the reception"" and ""The reception is after the wedding"". Such ""relational"" or ""polyadic"" (""many-place"") concepts and expressions have, for their extension, the set of all sequences of objects that satisfy the concept or expression in question."

Some houses only have a dwelling space for one family or similar-sized group; larger houses called townhouses or row houses may contain numerous family dwellings in the same structure. A house may be accompanied by outbuildings, such as a garage for vehicles or a shed for gardening equipment and tools. A house may have a backyard or frontyard, which serve as additional areas where inhabitants can relax or eat.

The bolded words in these examples are generally still considered prepositions, because when they form a phrase with a complement (in more ordinary constructions) they must appear first. A ""postposition"" follows its complement to form a postpositional phrase. Examples include: Some adpositions can appear either before or after their complement: An adposition like the above, which can be either a preposition or a postposition, can be called an ambiposition.

The object is normally placed before the verb but may be placed after the verb for emphasis, and a few common verbs require the object after them. Unlike English, which places prepositions before a noun, Zarma has postpositions, which are placed after the noun: ""fuwo ra"" (in the house), ""fuwo jine"" (in front of the house). When two nouns are placed together, the first noun modifies the second, showing possession, purpose or description: ""Fati tirǎ"" (Fati's book), ""haŋyaŋ hari"" (drinking water),"
