Answer 1

There are about 180 prepositions in the English language and the nymber of common used is not a small one. Such prepositions as of, to and in they are among top ten words that are commonly used in English. Since the main function of preposition is to combine with a noun phrase in order to form a phrase which expresses a modification, there is a lot of them. Here is list of words I find to be used as prepositions :
