For example, if you want to say where your book is, you can use a preposition like <span data-no-translation>on<\/span> o <span data-no-translation>in<\/span>. These words are very important for simple descriptions in English. We use <span data-no-translation>in<\/span> for things inside a space, like <span data-no-translation>in the box<\/span>. Utilizamos <span data-no-translation>on<\/span> for things on a surface, like <span data-no-translation>on the table<\/span>. Other common prepositions are <span data-no-translation>under<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>behind<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>in front of<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>next to<\/span>, y <span data-no-translation>between<\/span>.
