10.1. Introducere
Prepozitia descrie legatura dintre doua cuvinte din aceeasi propozitie. Prepozitiile nu au un inteles
de sine statator, ele capata diferie sensuri puse in legatura cu alte cuvinte.
You can sit before the desk (or in front of the desk). The professor can siton the desk (when he's
being informal) or behind the desk, and then his feet are under the desk or beneath the desk. He
can stand beside the desk (meaning next to the desk), before the desk, between the desk and
you, or even on the desk (if he's really strange). If he's clumsy, he can bump intothe desk or try to
walk through the desk (and stuff would fall off the desk). Passing his hands over the desk or
resting his elbows upon the desk, he often looks across the desk and speaks of the desk
or concerning the desk as if there were nothing else like the desk. Because he thinks of
nothingexcept the desk, sometimes you wonder about the desk, what's in the desk, what he
paid for the desk, and if he could live without the desk. You can walk toward the desk, to the
desk, around the desk, by the desk, and even past the desk while he sits at the desk or
leans against the desk.
