A preposition is a word that indicates location (in, near, beside) or some other relationship (about, after, besides) between a noun or pronoun and other parts of the sentence. A preposition isn't a preposition unless it goes with a related noun or pronoun, called the object of the preposition. Examples: Let's meet before noon. Before is a preposition; noon is its object. We've never met before. There is no object; before is an adverb modifying met. Rule 1.
