Some languages that use a different word order have postpositions instead or have both types. English generally has prepositions rather than postpositions – words such as in, under and of precede their objects, such as in England, under the table, of Jane – although there are a few exceptions including "ago" and "notwithstanding", as in "three days ago" and "financial limitations notwithstanding". A preposition comes before its complement a postposition comes after its complement. Ī preposition or postposition typically combines with a noun phrase, this being called its complement, or sometimes object. Prepositions and postpositions, together called adpositions (or broadly, in traditional grammar, simply prepositions), are a class of words used to express spatial or temporal relations ( in, under, towards, before) or mark various semantic roles ( of, for).
