NARRATOR: Oh, you’re Golem, you’re 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 ‘after’, ‘before’ , ‘on’, ‘over.’
Oh Golem, you are making a mess out of that wall. What is it Golem?
Oh that rock has ‘I’m hiding’ written on it. Are you hiding Golem?
That rock has ‘the wall’ written on it. The sentence reads; ‘I’m hiding the wall’.
Well, good luck with that. It’s massive! There’s no way you’ll be able to hide that.
Unless… wait a minute! Do you need a preposition?
That rock has the word ‘behind’ written on it. Where will you put it to make sense out of the sentence?
That’s right, the sentence now reads; ‘I’m hiding behind the wall’.
You’ve used the preposition word ‘behind’ to make sense out of the sentence.
