Use of prepositions
Prepositions can perform different functions:
- Liaising between two words or other elements in the sentence:
I'll see you at five o'clock / I'll see you at five
- May accompany a verb acting as liaison to its complement. In this case, they may not alter the meaning of the word or altering thus constitute a separate word.
To look / Look (not alter the meaning of theverb)
To look after / take care of (it alters the meaning of the verb)
- When we put a verb after a preposition, in English usually uses the form 'ing' and the infinitive.

USO DE LAS PREPOSICIONES
Las preposiciones pueden realizar distintas funciones:
- Servir de enlaceentre dos palabras o distintos elementos en la oración:
I'll see you at five o'clock / Te veré a las cinco
- Pueden acompañar a un verbo sirviendo de enlace a su complemento. En este caso, pueden no alterar el significado del verbo o alterarlo con lo que constituyen una palabra distinta.
To look / Mirar (no altera el significado del verbo)
To look after / Cuidar de (se altera el significadodel verbo)
- Cuando ponemos un verbo después de una preposición, en inglés normalmente se utiliza la forma ' ing' y no el infinitivo.
