语法释疑之介词
介词在英语用词里也属于难缠的一个项目。因为它涉及方面很广，而且变化多端，往往令人捉摸不定，记起来很麻烦。因此就有有心人弄了一个《介词口诀》来帮助学习者；也有人写了《Preposition Song》令学习者一面唱歌一面轻松地记忆介词的用法。
介词英文叫作Preposition (简称prep)，它由pre和position组成，pre是前面的意思，而position是位置的意思。因此以前中文译作“前置词”，就是一种放在名词(或相当于名词的词语)前面的虚词。
一、常用的介词
about,above,across,after,against,around,at, before,behind,below,beneath,beside,besides,between,beyond,by,down,during, except,for,from, in,inside,into, like, near, of,off,on,out,outside,over, since, through,throughout,till,to,toward, under,until,up,upon, with,without, according to, because of, by way of, in addition to, in front of, in place of, in regard to, in spite of, instead of, on account of, out of.
