What are them?

Prepositions of place are placed after the main verb, which is usually the verb "to be" (to be, to be) in any of the past, present or future tenses and in both its simple and compound forms.

We have already seen the different uses of the three most common prepositions ("in", "at", "on") in the previous lesson. Below you will find other prepositions of place.
