prepositions in use.  That’s what we’re going to go over today.  In the last post I explained the role of a preposisjon and gave many eksempler.  Now I think it is appropriate to highlight preposisjoner in sentences so that you can see how they are used.  It’s hard to say much without using a preposisjon and on the other hand, if you know your preposisjoner, you can say a lot!

Let’s start with location.  At some point I remember learning about preposisjoner that modify location in relation to a house.  Think of all the different ways you can modify location in a house. 

For example, Garasjen ligger ved siden av huset. The garage is/stands next to the house.

Lyset står over bordet.  The light is located above the table.

Putene ligger på sofaen.  The pillows lie on the sofa.

Hagen ligger bak huset.  The garden lies behind the house.

Møblene er i huset.  The furniture er inside the house.

Kjelleren ligger under førsteetasjen.  The basement lies under the first floor.

Erik vil ut for å leke med naboene.   Erik wants to go out to play with the neighbors.

 Innkjørselen ligger foran huset.  The driveway lies in front of the house.

Mitt rom ligger mellom kjøkkenet og badeværelsen.  My room lies between the kitchen and the bathroom. 

I think I covered most of them. So you see there are many preposisjoner related to location.  I will save the other ways to use preposisjoner until the next post.  This is probably enough to digest for now, ikke sant?
