As you were told in the beginning of this lesson, the we will be learning about prepositions today. What's a preposition? A preposition is a word which shows you the noun's relationship with another word or phrase in the sentence. So what does that mean? We'll explain through an example: "The book is with the man." The preposition is "with" because "with" explains the relationship between the book and the man. Some examples of English prepositions include: in, for, of, at, with, over, and on. There are, of course, many more. Read on to find out about prepositions in Unilange.

Are you ready for Lesson 9?
As mentioned we've mentioned a few times now, we really start to pick up the pace at Lesson 7. So, if you're having difficulty remembering everything we've taught you so far, you should stop and review what confuses you/what you don't remember. Do not move on if you don't have Lessons 7 through 9 down yet!
As with all of the other lessons, you need to know all of the vocabulary from Lesson 8 (this lesson). You also need to know the prepositions of the language, and feel comfortable making sentences with them. So take your time. There's no rush!
