Welcome to this tutorial.

00:02.430 --> 00:09.150
Today we're going to talk about prepositions of course purpose and reason.

00:09.150 --> 00:12.000
Let's get started.

00:12.020 --> 00:20.000
Remember that a preposition is usually a short word used to link nouns pronouns or phrases to other

00:20.000 --> 00:21.920
words within a sentence.

00:22.880 --> 00:26.000
Have a look at the example over here.

00:26.000 --> 00:34.880

Now there are many types of prepositions and among them are prepositions of course purpose and reason

00:49.230 --> 00:59.280
remember that they are used to indicate why what for or because of what something happens we usually

00:59.280 --> 01:04.660
use these prepositions when we answer the question beginning with y.

01:04.980 --> 01:11.640
Have a look at the example over here why don't you eat breakfast.

01:11.640 --> 01:15.370
I don't eat breakfast to sleep more in the mornings.

01:15.660 --> 01:22.510
