In French as well as in English, prepositions relate two parts of a sentence, they have

invariable forms and are followed by their object, for example: avec elle (with her),
aprs vous (after you),

They are placed in front of the noun in order to indicate a relationship between that
noun and the verb, an adjective or another noun that precedes it, ltudiant crit avec
un stylo = the student writes with a pen.

The prepositions , pour, and de can precede an infinitive just like the role of to
before infinitives in English, examples:

Dsol de te dranger (sorry to bother you)

Je veux apprendre le franais pour devenir un prof = I want to learn French to


become a teacher.

The preposition de is also used to express (possession, origin, or quantity)

La maison de ma tante (the house of my aunt)

Elle est originalement de Paris(she is originally from Paris)

un litre de lait (a liter of milk).

Below are some more prepositions, each one has its own meaning that you need to
memorize.
