Prepositions
Prepositions are the biggest little words in English That are usually quite short and insignificant looking, but they have very important functions. They are always followed by nouns or pronouns. They are connective words that show the relationship between the nouns following them and one of the basic sentence elements: subject, verb, object, or complement.They usually indicate relationships, such as position, place, direction, time, manner, agent, possession, and condition, between their objects and other parts of the sentence. The noun or pronoun following the preposition is its object. The prepostion plus its object is called the prepotional phrase.

AKRON, Ohio — Health officials said Saturday that dozens of Ohio residents were being monitored after possibly being exposed to a nurse from Dallas who visited here just days before she was found to have Ebola, but that no cases of the deadly virus have yet been identified in the state.
The nurse, Amber Joy Vinson, who is now being treated at hospital in Atlanta, was on the team that cared for Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian man who died on Oct. 8 in Dallas from Ebola. Ms. Vinson had already flown to Ohio when Nina Pham, another nurse who treated Mr. Duncan, tested positive for Ebola.
Ohio politicians and health workers said they were on top of the issue, and life for most here has gone on with little interruption. But quarantines, a few school closures and images of Ms. Vinson’s relatives’ home shrouded in yellow police tape have not gone unnoticed.
“I think there’s obviously a huge amount of anxiety,” said Donald L. Plusquellic, Akron’s mayor.
Mr. Plusquellic called for the federal government to send more specially trained health care workers to Ohio in case anyone who contacted Ms. Vinson began experiencing symptoms of Ebola. He also suggested having a plane on standby in both Akron and Cleveland to carry any patient with Ebola symptoms to a hospital with the necessary facilities to treating the disease.

“Why wouldn’t we have a team in place and ready to transport someone at the first sign of symptoms?” Mr. Plusquellic said in a news release. “Why would we put our local hospital caregivers and staff at risk when it can be contained at the onset?”
The mayor’s plan is to get approval from Gov. John R. Kasich of Ohio or from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, which has sent a team here to assist local health workers.
Mr. Kasich, a Republican, met here with city leaders and federal and local public health officials on Saturday to discuss the state’s response. He said he would talk with medical professionals to decide where best to treat an Ebola patient.
“The public needs to know we’re doing everything we can possibly do to be on top of this,” Mr. Kasich said, “and we will stay on top of this until this problem has passed.”
Ms. Vinson reported that she “felt funny” during her trip earlier this month, officials have said, but she went shopping at an Akron bridal store and did not exhibit obvious symptoms of Ebola. That bridal shop is closed “until further notice,” a sign out front read Saturday, and the home of a relative of Ms. Vinson’s in nearby Tallmadge, Ohio, remained cordoned off and under guard by the police.
