Object of a Preposition
A preposition sits before a noun
(or a pronoun) to show that noun's relationship to
another nearby word. The noun after a preposition is known as the
object of a preposition. It is always in the objective case
(e.g. "with him" not "with he"; "to whom" and
not "to who").
Examples:
The
ants get in your ears when you are sleeping.

of the preposition
(The preposition "in" shows the relationship between
"ants" and "ears".)

for the dogs? [show
me the objects
of the prepositions] |
