Re post: Big Things Starts from Smaller Ones


When I was in high school, I thought that prepositions were just single-worded part of speech that is why they are really dangerous especially in academic writing. I found out that there were some kind called "complex prepositions" that were not single-worded one. Complex prepositions are a word group that functions as a single preposition that may be two-word or three-word.

Some examples are:
  In addition to single-word preposition, there are others called complex preposition.

    I like the photo that you included in your post. I could relate to it in different ways, not only in prepositions but also in my personal life.
    We should never be deceived of what may seem to be small, like prepositions, because in the long-run we may be shocked that these little things are the ones that gives s a lot of trouble.

    Revised:
    I found out that there were some kind called "complex prepositions" that were not single-worded."

    The word "one" can be omitted in the sentence because it cannot change the meaning of the sentence; therefore, that word is just useless.

    I like your post. It is the little things that we ignore but they are the ones that make moments valuable.

    "Big things come from small packages." This is the first thing that came to my mind about your post.

    I am familiar with the examples you have given but I am not aware that they are called complex prepositions. It's a smart choice to include such photo that states an interesting message.

    Thanks for informing us about complex prepositions. I know your examples but I didn't know that they are called complex prepositions.
