Speak like a native

&nbsp;
A preposition is a word used to show the relationship of a noun to something else, usually a location in space or time. They are often followed by a noun phrase or pronoun. In most languages, the set of prepositions is used in everyday conversation and has important coherent functions that connect other parts of a sentence, and Arabic is no exception. 
Although they are a struggle to master, learning Arabic prepositions is very important because they are vital to making sense of almost any sentence. Before we begin, one fact you need to know is that prepositions are extremely subject to change. There is simply no logic to using them, and sometimes they only have to be learned on a case-by-case basis. 
Preposition in Arabic is called (huruf aljarr حروف الجر), it is a single letter or a word that connects two nouns, or a verb and a noun to form a sentence. Just like in English; prepositions in Arabic come before the noun, and the word or phrase that the preposition introduces is called the object of the preposition. 
Arabic prepositions are (Mabni words (كلمات&nbsp;مبنية which means that they mostly have a fixed pronunciation regardless of their position in the sentence. There are some widely used prepositions in the Arabic language that you may come across or use a lot. Once you understand them, things will become clearer.
