ARE SOME PREPOSITIONS COMPLEX LIKE USED IN A COMPLEX SENTENCE
When you type in all-caps, two things happen:
**it's harder to read, and
**it's the online equivalent to SHOUTING (considered rude behavior).
Please just type in regular mode, not with the Caps Lock feature turned on. Thanks.
sorry my caps was on my question is:
are some prepositions used in a complex sentence?
do they make it complex?
There are many subordinating conjunctions that can also be used as prepositions. What they are called in a sentence depends on how they are used.
Subordinating conjunctions:

Prepositions:

So ... you can say that if one of these words is followed by a clause (has a subj and verb), then it's a subordinating conjunction. If it's followed by a noun (sometimes with an adjective or two), then it's a preposition.
Yes, some prepositions can be used in complex sentences. A complex sentence consists of an independent clause (a complete sentence) and one or more dependent clauses (incomplete sentences). Prepositions can be used in both the independent and dependent clauses to show the relationship between different parts of the sentence.
To identify and understand the prepositions used in a complex sentence, follow these steps:
1. Identify the independent clause: Start by identifying the main clause or the complete sentence in the complex sentence. This will help you understand the overall meaning of the sentence.
2. Identify the dependent clauses: Look for any incomplete clauses or phrases that depend on the main clause to make sense. These dependent clauses often provide additional information or details related to the main clause.
3. Locate prepositions: Scan through both the independent and dependent clauses to locate prepositions. Prepositions are words that show a relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in the sentence.
4. Determine the relationships: Once you have identified the prepositions, determine the relationships they establish. Prepositions can indicate location, time, movement, direction, manner, or other relationships between the different parts of the sentence.
By following these steps, you can analyze the complex sentence and understand how prepositions are being used to connect various elements of the sentence and convey meaning.
