Grammar tip
A preposition is a word, linking one part of a
sentence to the another (subject to object)
A preposition is called so as it comes before the link,
eg 'On the table'
In Hindi however, the link comes afterwards and is
therefore called a postposition
Example, 'On the table' becomes 'table par'
