💡 महत्वपूर्ण जानकारी
💡 एक बच्चा वाक्य बनाता है — "I am good in English" — और टीचर कहते हैं गलत है, सही है "I am good at English"। बस यहीं पर ज़्यादातर बच्चों का हौसला टूट जाता है, क्योंकि उन्हें ये नहीं पता होता कि किस शब्द के बाद कौन-सा Preposition लगता है। सच तो यह है कि Preposition अंग्रेज़ी व्याकरण का सबसे छोटा शब्द होते हुए भी सबसे ज़्यादा गलतियों की जड़ है — और RAS Mains के Correction of Sentence वाले भाग में हर साल इसी टॉपिक से सवाल पूछे जाते हैं। इस अध्याय को ध्यान से पढ़ने के बाद आपको सिर्फ 'रटना' नहीं पड़ेगा — हर Preposition का 'नियम' (rule) समझ आ जाएगा, और नियम एक बार समझ आ जाए तो कभी नहीं भूलता।
11. Preposition क्या है?
Preposition वह शब्द है जो किसी Noun या Pronoun का संबंध वाक्य के किसी और शब्द से जोड़ता है — वह दूसरा शब्द कोई Noun, Pronoun, Verb या Adjective हो सकता है। सीधे शब्दों में कहें तो Preposition दो शब्दों के बीच का 'रिश्ता' (relation) बताता है — जगह का रिश्ता, समय का रिश्ता, या दिशा का रिश्ता।
✏️ Preposition + Object के उदाहरण
Cheese is made from milk. • The table is made of wood. • You can depend on me. • In spite of working hard, he failed. • He insisted on going abroad.
⚠️ ध्यान दें
⚠️ ज़रूरी नियम: Preposition के बाद हमेशा एक Object आता है (Object = Noun या Pronoun)। अगर Preposition के बाद कोई Verb आए तो वह हमेशा V1+ing (Gerund) के रूप में आएगा — क्योंकि Gerund असल में एक Noun की तरह काम करता है। जैसे: 'He is fond of READING' (of + reading, 'read' नहीं)।
22. Preposition के प्रकार (Types of Preposition)
(A) बनावट (Structure) के आधार पर
- ➤ Simple Preposition — एक ही शब्द: in, on, at, by, for, of, to, with।
- ➤ Compound Preposition — दो या तीन शब्द मिलकर: according to, in spite of, because of, on behalf of।
- ➤ Phrase/Participle Preposition — Verb+ing या Verb+ed जो Preposition की तरह काम करे: considering, regarding, given, provided।
- ➤ Double Preposition — दो simple prepositions मिलकर: into, onto, from within, from among।
(B) कार्य/अर्थ (Function) के आधार पर
| प्रकार | उदाहरण |
|---|
| Time (समय) — at, in, on, since, for, by | I will meet you at 5 o'clock. |
| Place (स्थान) — at, in, on, above, under, between | The book is on the table. |
| Direction/Movement (दिशा) — to, into, through, across, along | He went into the room. |
| Manner/Cause/Purpose (ढंग/कारण) — by, with, for, like | She succeeded by hard work. |
| Possession (स्वामित्व) — of, with | This is a book of poems. |
| Source/Origin (स्रोत) — from, out of | Water flows from the mountain. |
| Measurement (माप) — by, of | Sold by the dozen / full of water. |
⚠️ ध्यान दें
⚠️ रिलेटिंग-वर्ड के अनुसार: Preposition की एक और पहचान यह भी है कि वह किस तरह से जुड़ता है — (1) General Preposition (जैसे in, on, at), (2) Phrasal Verb का हिस्सा (जैसे look into, deal with), (3) Fixed Preposition — किसी खास शब्द के साथ हमेशा एक ही Preposition जुड़ना (जैसे fond OF, married TO, angry WITH)। यह तीसरा प्रकार RAS Mains में सबसे ज़्यादा पूछा जाता है — आगे इसकी पूरी सूची दी गई है।
33. Transitive/Intransitive Verb और Preposition
Verb दो तरह की होती हैं — Transitive (जिसके बाद सीधे Object आता है, कोई Preposition की ज़रूरत नहीं) और Intransitive (जिसके बाद Object के लिए Preposition चाहिए)। इस भेद को न समझने की वजह से बच्चे सबसे ज़्यादा गलती करते हैं — Transitive verb के तुरंत बाद Preposition लगा देते हैं, जो गलत है।
| ✅ सही | ❌ गलत (Transitive Verb + Preposition) |
|---|
| ✔ She gave a gift. | ✘ She gave to a gift. |
| ✔ They went to hospital. (went = intransitive यहाँ) | ✘ They went hospital. |
| ✔ He wrote a letter. | ✘ He wrote to a letter. |
| ✔ Russia attacked Ukraine. / made an attack ON Ukraine. | ✘ Russia attacked on Ukraine. |
| ✔ Amitabh was married TO Jaya. (passive में to आता है) | ✘ Amitabh married to Jaya. |
| ✔ Jahanvi resembles her mother. / bears a resemblance TO her. | ✘ Jahanvi resembles to her mother. |
| ✔ The officer investigated the case. / Investigation INTO the case. | ✘ The officer investigated into the case. |
⚠️ ध्यान दें
⚠️ Reach बनाम Arrive: 'Reach' एक Transitive Verb है — इसके बाद सीधे Object आता है, कोई preposition नहीं (He reached the station, 'at' नहीं)। जबकि 'Arrive' Intransitive है और इसके साथ 'at/in' preposition आवश्यक है (He arrived AT the station)।
प्रमुख Transitive Verbs की सूची (इनके बाद Preposition मत लगाओ)
Attack, Order, Inform, Tell, Bid, Ask, Wish, Request, Violate, Prohibit, Forbid, Resign, Sign, Emphasize, Resemble, Reach, Win, Afford, Visit, Discuss, Describe, Illustrate, Explain, Welcome, Marry, Follow, Mount, Meet, Join, Obey, Remind, Warn, Thank, Advise, Resist, Demand, Compromise, Investigate, Enter, Await, Comprise।
44. 'Home' शब्द के साथ Preposition के नियम
📢 विज्ञापन
🔥 सबसे लोकप्रिय📘
RAS Foundation Course 2026 🕉️
| स्थिति | नियम + उदाहरण |
|---|
| गति वाली Verbs (go/come/reach/arrive) | कोई Preposition नहीं: go home, come home, reach home, arrive home, He goes home daily. |
| स्थिति बताने वाली Verbs (is/am/are/stay/work/live) | at/in ज़रूरी: is/am/are + at/in home, stay at home, work from home, We shall stay at home. |
⚠️ ध्यान दें
⚠️ अपवाद: जब Home से पहले Possessive Adjective (my/your/his/her/our/their) या किसी व्यक्ति का नाम + 's' लगा हो, तब Preposition 'to' ज़रूरी है — जैसे: 'He goes to his friend's home daily' / 'He goes to Rahul's home'। ऐसा इसलिए क्योंकि यहाँ Home एक Noun की तरह बर्ताव कर रहा है, Adverb की तरह नहीं।
55. सामान्य Prepositions की सूची (General Preposition Chart)
| समूह 1 | समूह 2 | समूह 3 | समूह 4 | समूह 5 |
|---|
| On | Between | At | Instead of | Beside |
| Over | Among | In | In spite of | Besides |
| Above | Amongst | By | Along | Before |
| Under | Amid | To | Along with | In front of |
| Below | Amidst | Of | Towards | For |
| Owing to | Off | Round | Through | Across |
| Due to | From | Around | Throughout | With |
| Into | Upon | | Within |
66. Between / Among / Amongst / Amid / Amidst
| शब्द | नियम |
|---|
| Between | दो (2) व्यक्ति/वस्तु के बीच में प्रयोग होता है। |
| Among | दो से ज़्यादा व्यक्ति/वस्तु के बीच में प्रयोग होता है। |
| Amongst | 'Among' का ही रूप — अगले शब्द की शुरुआत स्वर-ध्वनि (vowel sound) से हो वहाँ प्रयोग। |
| Amid | Uncountable/Singular Noun के साथ — 'बीच में/घिरा हुआ' के भाव में। |
| Amidst | 'Amid' का ही रूप — vowel sound वाले शब्द से पहले प्रयोग। |
✏️ उदाहरण
The teacher distributed the notes among the students. • There will be a war among India, China and Pakistan if tensions are not resolved. • Ranveer had to choose between Aliya and Deepika. • The officer's integrity could not survive amid such widespread dishonesty. • Mr. Kedia distributed the sum amongst eight employees. • The river flows between the two mountains।
77. On / Over / Above / Under / Below
| शब्द | भाव (Sense) |
|---|
| On | सतह के सीधे संपर्क में (contact of surface)। |
| Over | ठीक ऊपर + ढका हुआ भाव (vertically above + covering sense)। |
| Above | कहीं भी ऊपर, level/comparison के लिए भी (anywhere upside, for level also)। |
| Under | Over का विपरीत (opposite of over)। |
| Below | Above का विपरीत (opposite of above)। |
✏️ उदाहरण
Shambhu is sitting under the tree. • Put the blanket over the baby. • There is a lizard above/on the desk. • Water is flowing above the danger mark. • Water starts to boil above 100°C. • You will have to get above 110 marks in the RAS prelims. • You are under CCTV surveillance.
87B. In / At / On — स्थान (Place) के लिए नियम
| शब्द | कब प्रयोग करें (स्थान के लिए) | उदाहरण |
|---|
| At | छोटी/निश्चित जगह (एक बिंदु की तरह) — station, corner, gate, bus-stop | He is waiting at the bus-stop. / She lives at 25, MI Road. |
| In | बड़ी/घिरी हुई जगह (enclosed या बड़ा क्षेत्र) — city, country, room, box | He lives in Jaipur. / The pen is in the box. |
| On | किसी सतह के ऊपर (surface) — table, wall, road, floor | The book is on the table. / There is a poster on the wall. |
⚠️ ध्यान दें
⚠️ Time वाले In/At/On से मत जोड़िए: यह नियम स्थान (place) के लिए है, समय (time) के लिए नियम अलग है (देखें सेक्शन 12) — 'at 5 o'clock' समय है, 'at the station' स्थान है, दोनों में 'at' आया लेकिन कारण अलग-अलग है।
98. Into / Out of / By — नियम और Fixed Phrases
Into — दो प्रयोग
- 1. अंदर की ओर गति के लिए (moving inside): The cat jumped into the box.
- 2. रूप/अवस्था बदलने के लिए (change of form/state): Water changes into ice, below 0°C. / Translate this into English.
⚠️ ध्यान दें
⚠️ Fixed Preposition — Into: Enter + into = किसी Deal/Agreement पर हस्ताक्षर करना (The company decided to enter into a partnership)। सामान्य 'अंदर जाना' के लिए सिर्फ 'Enter' काफी है, 'into' नहीं (Knock before you enter)। Break into = घर में अवैध रूप से घुसना। Look into/See into = जांच करना (investigate)।
Out of
बाहर की ओर गति के लिए प्रयोग होता है: I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs।
✏️ Fixed Phrases with 'Out of'
Out of syllabus • Out of reach • Out of order • Out of danger • Out of context • Out of control
By — चार नियम
- 1. Passive Voice में प्रयोग: The letter was sent by John.
- 2. समय बताने के लिए: It is 11 P.M. by the clock / by the watch.
- 3. By + कोई भी यातायात-साधन: by bus, by train, by plane।
- 4. जगह बताने के लिए 'Beside' की जगह भी: Kabeer sits by Kiara. = Kabeer sits beside Kiara।
⚠️ ध्यान दें
⚠️ Till/Until बनाम By: Till/Until = कोई काम लगातार चलता रहेगा उस समय तक (a continuous action continuing up to a point) — 'I will wait till 5 o'clock' (मैं 5 बजे तक इंतज़ार करता रहूंगा)। By = कोई काम उस समय तक पूरा (complete) हो जाना चाहिए, उसके बाद नहीं (an action completed no later than a point) — 'I will finish the work by 5 o'clock' (5 बजे तक काम खत्म हो चुका होगा)। लगातार/habitual काम के लिए Till, एक-बार पूरे होने वाले काम के लिए By।
109. Preposition + यातायात-साधन (Travel Source) और By vs With
| ढांचा (Structure) | नियम और उदाहरण |
|---|
| By + यातायात-साधन | by bike, by scooter, by cycle, by bus, by train, by plane, by ship — इसमें article नहीं आता। ✔ I went to Jaipur by car. (✘ by the car) |
| On/In + Determiner + साधन | On - जिसके फ़र्श पर चल सकें (walk कर सकें): on a bus, on Ravi's bike। In - जिसके फ़र्श पर walk नहीं कर सकते: in a car, in an auto। ✔ Rahul is coming here on a bus. / in a car. |
⚠️ ध्यान दें
⚠️ By vs With: By व्यक्ति (doer/agent) के लिए प्रयोग होता है, With किसी वस्तु/औज़ार (instrument) के लिए — 'Krishna was beaten BY his mother WITH a stick' / 'Ravan was killed BY Ram WITH an arrow'।
1110. Along/Along with, Beside/Besides, Before/In front of, Instead of/In spite of
| जोड़ी (Pair) | अंतर और उदाहरण |
|---|
| Along / Along with | Along = किसी चीज़ के समानांतर (parallel to something) — trees along the road। Along with = किसी की संगत में (in company of) — She went along with her friends। |
| Beside / Besides | Beside = बगल में (by the side of) — Rihana danced beside Radhika। Besides = इसके अतिरिक्त (in addition to) — Besides literature, he studies History। |
| Before / In front of | Before = सजीव संज्ञा (living noun) के साथ — How dare you speak before me? In front of = निर्जीव संज्ञा (non-living) के साथ — Ananya was sitting in front of the car। |
| Instead of / In spite of | Instead of = विकल्प/स्थान पर (substitution) — We planted groundnuts instead of cotton। In spite of = विरोधाभास (despite) — In spite of constant warning, she did not respond। |
1211. Of vs From, Off vs From — Confusing Preposition Pairs
| प्रयोग (Die + ___) | कब प्रयोग करें |
|---|
| Die of | बीमारी/भूख के कारण — Disease, Hunger, Starvation, Thirst, Shame। जैसे: He died of Malaria/dengue/Covid-19। |
| Die from | किसी अन्य बाहरी कारण से — food poison, over eating, over drinking, wound, fatigue, loss of blood। |
| Die in | किसी घटना/स्थान में — Accident, Battlefield, Hospital। |
| Die for | किसी के लिए बलिदान — Country, Motherland, Someone। |
⚠️ ध्यान दें
⚠️ Made Of vs Made From: Made OF = भौतिक परिवर्तन (physical change, वस्तु पहचानी जा सके) — This table is made OF wood। Made FROM = रासायनिक परिवर्तन (chemical change, मूल वस्तु पहचान में न आए) — Curd is made FROM milk। From...to = शुरुआत...मंज़िल (origin...destination) — He will go from Jaipur to Delhi।
⚠️ ध्यान दें
⚠️ Off vs From: Off = अचानक/आकस्मिक अलगाव (sudden/accidental separation) — He fell off his bike yesterday। From = स्वाभाविक/अपेक्षित अलगाव (natural/expected separation) — The leaves are falling from the trees।
1312. For, Round-Around, In/On/At (समय की सटीकता), With
| Preposition | भाव और उदाहरण |
|---|
| For | अवधि (duration) — for three years; कारण (reason) — for the urgent work; बदले में (exchange) — I bought this car for 25 lakh rupees। |
| Round / Around | Round (Noun)=बारी; Round (Adj)=गोल आकार; Round (Prep)=चारों ओर घूमना — I work round the clock। Around=लगभग(approx: around 20 classes), किनारे-किनारे(by the edge of), इधर-उधर(here and there)। |
| In / On / At (समय की सटीकता) | In=गैर-विशिष्ट बड़ा समय (a month/year/season) → On=दिन-तारीख (days/dates) → At=एकदम सटीक समय (an exact time, जैसे 4 o'clock)। जितना अंदर जाओ उतना समय सटीक होता जाता है। |
| With | साथ/संगति (company) — I am with you; औज़ार (tool/instrument) — I write with a pen। |
⚠️ ध्यान दें
⚠️ Since बनाम For — निश्चित नियम: Since = एक निश्चित समय-बिंदु (point of time) के साथ — 'कब से' (since 2015, since Monday, since morning, since childhood)। For = समयावधि (duration/period) के साथ — 'कितनी देर से' (for two hours, for five years, for a long time)। दोनों प्रायः Perfect/Perfect Continuous Tense के साथ आते हैं — 'He has been living here since 2015 / for ten years'। पहचानने की Trick: जवाब में तारीख/दिन/घटना (2015, Monday, birth) आए तो Since; जवाब में गिनती/मात्रा (five years, two hours) आए तो For।
1413. समय (Time) से जुड़े Preposition प्रयोग

|---|
| On + दिन (day) | I came at 7 o'clock on Monday. |
| In + वर्ष/महीना (year/month) | India became independent in 1947. / I came in May. |

| In + season | It blooms in summer. / It is foggy in winter. |
| At sunrise/sunset/noon/midnight/night | I go to temple at sunrise. / Cattle return to their shelter at sunset. / She checks the locks at night. |
1514. महत्वपूर्ण Compound Prepositions
Compound Preposition दो या तीन शब्द मिलकर बनती है और एक ही Simple Preposition जैसा काम करती है — RAS Mains के Correction of Sentence और Elaboration दोनों में इनका प्रयोग बहुत उपयोगी है।
| Compound Preposition | अर्थ / उदाहरण | Compound Preposition | अर्थ / उदाहरण |
|---|
