This is the French Prepositions and Conjunctions Overview.

What Are Prepositions and Conjunctions?

Prepositions are words that show a relation between other words in a sentence. Often, they show when or where something happened.

Here are some examples: 

The toy is in the box.

The man is behind the woman.

I have been calling you since this afternoon.

 

Conjunctions are words that link other words, phrases, or clauses with each other.

Here’s an example of why conjunctions are so important:

I like him. I don’t like her. 

I like him, but I don’t like her.
