NARRATOR: Oh, you鈥檙e Golem, you鈥檙e going to help us with prepositions?
Okay. A preposition is a word that tells you where or when something is in relation to something else.
Words like 鈥榓fter鈥, 鈥榖efore鈥 , 鈥榦n鈥, 鈥榦ver.鈥
Oh Golem, you are making a mess out of that wall. What is it Golem?
Oh that rock has 鈥業鈥檓 hiding鈥 written on it. Are you hiding Golem?
That rock has 鈥榯he wall鈥 written on it. The sentence reads; 鈥業鈥檓 hiding the wall鈥.
Well, good luck with that. It鈥檚 massive! There鈥檚 no way you鈥檒l be able to hide that.
Unless鈥 wait a minute! Do you need a preposition?
That rock has the word 鈥榖ehind鈥 written on it. Where will you put it to make sense out of the sentence?
That鈥檚 right, the sentence now reads; 鈥業鈥檓 hiding behind the wall鈥.
You鈥檝e used the preposition word 鈥榖ehind鈥 to make sense out of the sentence.
