PREPOSITIONS
Prepositions in Arabic are used just like in
English; they come before the noun,
Around the house = hawla al bait (around =
hawla). In front of the house = amama al bait (amama= in front of).
Some prepositions that are one word in English
may contain two words in Arabic, for example (among = men bayn) which means
literally “from between”. And vice versa, some Arabic one word may be the
equivalent of a compound English preposition, like: in front of = fawka.
