Primary Discussion
Preposition (পদান্বয়ী অব্যয়) শব্দটির pre অর্থ পূর্বে এবং position অর্থ অবস্থান। অর্থাৎ, যে word কোনো noun বা pronoun এর পূর্বে বসে সেই noun বা pronoun এর সাথে বাক্যের অন্য word এর সম্পর্ক স্থাপন করে তাকে preposition বলে।
Ex: The book is on the table. (এখানে 'on' শব্দটি table (noun) এর পূর্বে বসে book এর সাথে সম্পর্ক স্থাপন করেছে।)
Ex: He goes to school.
