Welcome to this tutorial.

00:02.820 --> 00:07.280
Today we're going to talk about prepositions of manner.

00:07.290 --> 00:16.920
Let's get started now a preposition is usually a short word used to link nouns pronouns or phrases to

00:17.040 --> 00:19.680
other words within a sentence.

00:19.680 --> 00:21.990
Have a look at the example below.

00:23.150 --> 00:31.940
If I'm not mistaken her birthday is in May Not a word in in the sentence is a preposition and it is

00:31.940 --> 00:39.400
used to link the word or the noun me to her birthday now.

00:39.440 --> 00:46.020
There are many types of prepositions amongst them are prepositions of manner.

00:46.070 --> 00:51.210
Now they are used to express the manner in which something is done.

00:51.290 --> 00:53.870
We usually use prepositions of manner.

00:53.960 --> 01:01.570

01:28.410 --> 01:31.620
the way in which something is carried out.

01:31.860 --> 01:33.840
As in the examples below.

01:34.380 --> 01:37.680

01:37.830 --> 01:41.360

01:54.640 --> 01:57.880
While with denotes an instrument.

01:58.300 --> 02:01.300
Have a look at the examples below.

02:01.330 --> 02:06.900
