The preposition establishes relationships especially between the elements that make up the simple sentence. The proper function of the proposition is to serve as a nexus between the elements of the sentence and their complements, for this reason the preposition is always linked to a term of the relationship and forms with it a syntactic unit that, in the case of being lost, the meaning, for example, "he painted the house blue" the preposition "of" is eliminated and the sentence changes the meaning he would say "he painted the house blue."

The prepositions establish complex relationships with the words that accompany them, to the point that in many cases are essential to the meaning of a term is complete. The prepositional relationship begins with a word of full meaning, that is, by a verb, a noun, an adjective or an adverb. This element subordinates the preposition with its term, which is why it is said to govern it. For example, the verb "lacking" is only constructed with a preposition "of", "lacking means", "lacking what is necessary" in this case it is said that the verb "lacking" governs the preposition "of".
The Spanish prepositions are a group of words that do not vary and function as a junction between the different parts of a sentence. Prepositions are responsible for indicating origins, origin, direction, destination, medium, starting point, place, time, etc.

Ante, to, under, against, fits, with, from, from, between, in, to, did, by, for, so, without, according to, after, from 2009 the New Spanish grammar includes four new prepositions that are: through, versus, during and via.
The decision to include these last four propositions was due to the use that Hispanics give to these words, that is, the new prepositions "through" and "during" were the present participles of the verbs "mediate" and "last". be written in singular and plural, "mediants and durantes", currently these two words have lost their agreement and have been integrated into the list of prepositions, for example. "During the holidays, increase the fun", "I expressed my condolences with a letter."
