Prepositions in a nice visual ^.^

Dear all,

This is a useful image showing Prepositions of location, time and movement.

Also note that a preposition of location is also known as a preposition of place.

A point to take note of, some prepositions could be belong to more than one category. 

For example, from:

• From time to time, we will see exceptions. (from is a preposition of time in this case)
• I am unable to distinguish the two twin sisters from each other (from is a preposition of place/location in this case)
