परिभाषा : WREN and MARTIN के अनुसार— “A preposition is a word placed before a noun or a pronoun to show in what relation the person or thing denoted by it stands in regard to something else.”

Preposition का वर्गीकरण अनेक प्रकार से किया जा सकता है। इसमें मुख्य हैं
1. Preposition of Motion-on, in, into, upon, across, along, though, from, to, for, against …… etc.
2. Prepositions of Time – at, in, from, on, to, for, since, by, before, between, etc.
3. Prepositions of Space (Place) on, in, at, by, between, under, across, in front of, against ……etc.

ध्यातव्य :
Preposition of motion, time तथा space (place) प्राय: common हैं। इनके उपयोग से ज्ञात होता है कि इनका प्रयोग किस रूप में हुआ है, जैसे

1. She is running on the road. (Prep. of Motion)
He came on Monday. (Prep. of Time)
My book is on the table. (Prep. of Place)

2. The cat jumped upon the table. (Prep. of Motion)
She slept at 9 p.m. (Prep. of Time)
He is standing at the gate. (Prep. of Place)
उपर्युक्त उदाहरणों से स्पष्ट होता है कि

Prepositions of Space (स्थान-सूचक प्रेमॅजिशन्ज) किसी स्थान में किसी वस्तु की किसी अन्य वस्तु की अपेक्षा स्थिति (Position) अथवा गति (Motion) दर्शाते हैं।
जैसे -The child is sitting under the tree. [बच्चा पेड़ के नीचे बैठा हुआ है। अर्थात् बच्चे एवं पेड़ के बीच सम्बन्ध यह है कि एक वस्तु (बच्चा) दूसरी वस्तु (पेड़) के नीचे स्थित है।]

इसी प्रकार अन्य स्थितियाँ (Positions) दर्शाने के लिए at, in, across, on, by, between, with, over, under आदि का प्रयोग करते हैं।
Prepositions of Motion-He jumped into the well. (वह कुएँ में कूद गया।) अर्थात् एक वस्तु, यहाँ ‘He’ दूसरी वस्तु, यहाँ ‘the well’, के भीतर बाहर से अन्दर प्रवेश अर्थात् गति कर गयी। अतः Preposition of Motion into’ का प्रयोग किया गया।

गति (Motion) दर्शाने हेतु अन्य Prepositions ये हैं – into, across, though, from, to, up, down, against, along, for, out of, onto आदि।
Prepositions of Time (समय-सूचक प्रेपॅजिशन्ज) का प्रयोग किसी कार्य के शुरू होने, जारी रहने तथा समाप्त हो जाने के समयों के बीच परस्पर सम्बन्धों को दर्शाने हेतु किया जाता है।

जैसे – This morning I got up after four. (इस सुबह मैं चार बजे बाद उठा।) यहाँ after से तात्पर्य है ‘के बाद’, अर्थात् चार बजने के बाद । समय (Time) सम्बन्धी इस प्रकार के सम्बन्धों को बताने हेतु प्रयोग किये जाने वाले कुछ अन्य Preposition of Time हैं….

At, after, by, before, between, from, for, since, till, in, on, during, through आदि। तीनों ही प्रकार के Prepositions को हम विस्तार से आगे समझा रहे हैं।

Golden Rules के अनुसार
Kinds of Preposition

Golden Rules के अनुसार, लेखक ने Prepositions का वर्गीकरण दो प्रकार (kinds) में किया है। प्रथम-वे Prepositions, जिनका प्रयोग किन्हीं नियमों द्वारा होता है।
द्वितीय – वे Prepositions, जिनके प्रयोग के नियम नहीं हैं, वरन् वे ‘स्थिर’ (Fixed) हैं, जैसेlisten to, afraid of, look after

Prepositions जिनके नियम हैं

IN

In का प्रयोग किसी स्थान अथवा वस्तु में पहले से ही अन्दर होने की स्थिति’ बताने के लिए किया जाता है। जैसे
1. There is tea in the pot.
2. My book is in the bag.
(पुस्तक पहले से ही bag में है)
3. Hari is reading in the room.
4. There are four rooms in this house.

(ii) किसी नगर में रहने के लिए in’ का प्रयोग करो, जैसे
1. My sister lives in Nagpur.
2. I live in Bikaner.

(iii) समय-सूचक व अवधि-सूचक शब्दों (hours, week, months, years…………..आदि) के पहले ‘in’ का प्रयोग होता है।
1. He will return in two hours.
2. She will go to Jaipur in March.
3. My birthday is in this week.
4. She was born in 1987.
5. A bird is sitting in the tree.

Note: पेड़ पर बैठने के लिए in the tree सही है, on the tree गलत है। कारण, ‘on the tree’ का अर्थ
‘पेड़ के सबसे ऊपरी भाग के ऊपर’ ऐसा प्रायः नहीं होता है। पेड़ का दायरा काफी बड़ा होता है, अतः
चिंडिया उस दायरे के अन्दर बैठी है, इसलिए ‘in the tree’ सही है।

INTO

Into के प्रयोग में दो बातें ध्यान रखनी चाहिए –
(a) गति हो; और
(b) स्थान-परिवर्तन अथवा रूप- परिवर्तन हो

1. Sita came into the room. (पहले बाहर थी, अब अन्दर आ गई)
2. He fell into a well.
3. You jumped into a river.
किन्तु Radha is running in the room होगा क्योंकि वह कमरे में ही दौड़ रही है, स्थान में परिवर्तन नहीं हुआ है। इसी प्रकार He is swimming in the river. (नदी में ही है। स्थान परिवर्तन नहीं हुआ है) जबकि Sita came into the room में पहले वह बाहर थी, अब अन्दर आ गई है, अतः स्थान परिवर्तन हुआ है।
4. The ice turned into water. (बर्फ पिघलने में गति हुई, रूप-परिवर्तन हो गया – पानी हो गया।)
5. Translate into English. (अनुवाद करने में हिन्दी से रूप-परिवर्तन होकर अंग्रेजी में हो जायेगा।)

Sohan will come at 5 o’clock.
Rabina started at six in the morning.

(iii) छोटे स्थान के लिए at व बड़े स्थान के लिए in का प्रयोग करो
I live at Rajasthan in India.
I live at Bikaner in Rajasthan.

(ii) वह चीज़ नहीं दीखती है तो from का प्रयोग करो। जैसे Butter is made from milk.

Golden Rules

Golden Rule:

कुछ विद्यार्थियों को between तथा among के प्रयोग में भ्रम हो जाता है, अतः लेखक द्वारा निर्मित
Golden Rule को समझें, भ्रम कभी नहीं होगा।
between = Two
among = all
two की spelling में two है और between की spelling में भी two है, अर्थात् जब दो (two) व्यक्ति व वस्तुएँ हों तो between का प्रयोग करो; और जब दो से अधिक अर्थात् सब अथवा सभी (all) के लिए प्रयोग करो तो among का प्रयोग करो – among की spelling में भी a है और all की spelling में भी a है।
