Haryana Board 9th Class English Grammar Preposition

What is Preposition ?
Preposition अंग्रेजी भाषा के वे छोटे-छोटे शब्द होते हैं जो एक Noun (संज्ञा) तथा दूसरे Noun के बीच में या एक Noun और Verb (क्रिया) के बीच सम्बन्ध बताते हैं।
जैसे-
1. The pen is on the table.
2. She is looking at the picture.
पहले वाक्य में preposition है ‘on’ यह हमें pen का table से सम्बन्ध बताती है कि किताब मेज के “ऊपर” है, नीचे, दाएँ या बाएँ नहीं है।

दूसरे वाक्य में ‘at’ नाम की preposition क्रिया “looking” और संज्ञा the picture का सम्बन्ध बताती है कि देखने का काम तस्वीर ‘पर’ है न कि उसके पीछे, नीचे आदि।

Prepositions का अंग्रेजी भाषा में बहुत महत्त्व है। इनके बिना अंग्रेजी भाषा लिखना लगभग असम्भव है।

Prepositions हिन्दी के ‘साथ’, ‘के’, ‘ऊपर’, ‘नीचे’, ‘आगे’, ‘पर’, ‘भीतर’, ‘बाहर’, ‘द्वारा’, ‘में’, ‘से’ आदि का बोध करवाती हैं। अंग्रेजी भाषा में बहुत-सी prepositions हैं। मगर विद्यार्थियों को एक बात ध्यान में रखनी चाहिए कि अंग्रेजी में preposition का अर्थ वाक्य के भाव के अनुसार बदलता रहता है अर्थात् एक preposition के कई अर्थ हो सकते हैं।

For Example:
I will do this work by 8 o’clock.
(मैं यह काम आठ बजे तक कर लूँगा।)

We escaped by chance.
(हम किस्मत से बच गए।)

He came by bus.
(वह बस के द्वारा आया।)

He will get the work done by hook or by crook.
(वह जैसे-तैसे काम करवा लेगा।)

She sat by her husband.
(वह अपने पति के पास बैठी थी।)

उपर्युक्त वाक्यों में ‘by’ नाम की Preposition का अर्थ वाक्य के भाव के साथ-साथ बदल गया है।
