Proper use of Preposition
- A preposition is followed by a noun or a pronoun.
Example: We go jogging every day after work. (Preposition)
(The preposition is after and is followed by the noun work.)
- An adverb comes after a verb and is not followed by an object.
We got here not so long ago and she arrived after. (Adverb)
(After is an adverb that comes after the verb arrived.)
- A conjunction has a clause that comes after it.

(The clause he had left comes after the conjunction after.)
