Prepositions can be divided into eight categories: time, place, direction or movement, agency, instrument or device, reason or purpose, connection, and origin. However, many prepositions will fall under two or more categories. In that case, how can you determine what type of preposition is being used in a sentence?

Hi there! I entered this thread to see what's going on, and I have to tell you that you do a fantastic job there by posting things like this. Somehow I didn't have any stuff to do, and I wanted to learn Dutch. It was about one month ago. I managed to find a plethora of words in dutch. I even counted them, and I know approximately 57 words already. I don't know if that's significant progress in one month, but I'm happy with my results, and I didn't expect that from myself.
