A preposition is one word which is usually followed by a noun or a pronoun.
Each preposition can play different functions. Different prepositions have similar uses.
Prepositions show how people and things relate to the rest of the sentence,
But how to choose from IN or A preposition?
We use IN
– With continents, countries,
regions
– With addresses

We use A
– With cities and towns
Examples:
In Europa
In Italia
In Toscana

it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your
intelligence on just posting videos to your blog
when you could be giving us something enlightening to
read?

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but
I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand.
It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post,
I will try to get the hang of it!
