1. to(prep) Chicago (obj)

2. by(prep) car(obj)

3. By(prep) afternoon(obj)

4. for(prep) lunch(obj)

5. near(prep) river(obj)

6. on(prep) water(obj)

7. for(prep) trip(obj)

8. of(prep) Chicago(obj)

9. at(prep) motel(obj)

A preposition tells where one noun is in relation to another noun. It is always followed by a noun, which is the object of a preposition. One silly way to remember most prepositions is to think about a squirrel and a tree. A squirrel can go (through, on, under, in, off, to, by...) the tree. There are a few prepositions that just need to be remembered such as for.

How does palm oil affect local people?
Alex787 [66]
Oil palm production also leads to an increase in human-wildlife conflict as populations of large animals are squeezed into increasingly isolated fragments of natural habitat. The habitats destroyed frequently contain rare and endangered species or serve as wildlife corridors between areas of genetic diversity. This leads to deforestation.
