Adjectives are words used to describe a person, place, or thing.
For example:
The tall man in the red shirt is a friend of mine.
We drove along a quiet road until we reached a small town.
I’m reading an interesting book.
Prepositions are words used to connect two ideas or to demonstrate the relationship between two concepts.
Examples of prepositions in English include at, in, on, for, to, with, and from.
