0Les Prépositions
Prepositions are words which link two related parts of a sentence. They are placed in front of nouns in order to indicate a relationship between that noun and the verb, adjective, or noun that precedes it.
Examples:

I am living in Paris since 2010 - J’habite à Paris depuis 2010
He went out through window - Il est sorti par la fenetre
