Basic and Complex Prepositions

Many Prepositions we use are single words like in , on and at. These are called simple or Basic prepositions. There are also prepositions which are made up of two or three words. These complex prepositions act in he same way as single-word prepositions.

Like simple prepositions these two-word combinations come before a noun:Complex prepositions can be divided into two groups.

-two-word units (a word + a simple preposition) , such as apart from (also known as compound prepositions)
-three-word units (a simple preposition + a noun + a simple preposition), such as by means of (also known as phrasal prepositions)
Examples- according to , ahead of , along with , apart from , as for , as well as , aside from , away from , etc
