नमस्ते मित्रों!

आज का विषय छोटा है,
लेकिन हर English learner को Confuse कर देता है —
👉 “Preposition और Adverb में फर्क क्या है?”
दोनों ही “on”, “in”, “before”, “after”, “under”, “around” जैसे words इस्तेमाल करते हैं,
तो आखिर कैसे पता चले कि कौन सा Preposition है और कौन सा Adverb?
चलिए, इसे समझते हैं सबसे आसान और Practical तरीके से —
जिसे पढ़कर आप कहेंगे —
💡 “अब Grammar नहीं, Sense समझ आया!”
📘 1️⃣ Basic Meaning – Simple and Clear
🔹 Preposition (पूर्वसर्ग)
A Preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in a sentence.
📘 Simple Hindi Meaning:
Preposition बताता है कि कोई चीज़ कहाँ है, किसके साथ है, कब है, या किस कारण से है।
📍Examples:
-
The pen is on the table.
(“on” shows relation between pen and table) -
She came from Delhi.
-
The cat is under the bed.
💡 Rule:
Preposition always has an object (noun/pronoun) after it.
🔹 Adverb (क्रिया विशेषण)
An Adverb describes a verb, adjective, or another adverb — it tells how, when, where, or to what extent something happens.
📘 Simple Hindi Meaning:
Adverb बताता है कि कोई काम कैसे, कहाँ, कब या कितना हुआ।
📍Examples:
-
She looked up. (कहाँ देखा? ऊपर)
-
He ran away. (कैसे भागा? दूर)
-
The child slept inside. (कहाँ सोया? अंदर)
💡 Rule:
Adverb does not have any object — it stands alone.
🧠 2️⃣ Core Difference in One Line
👉 If the word has an object (noun/pronoun) — it’s a Preposition.
👉 If the word has no object — it’s an Adverb.
📘 Formula:
Preposition = Linker (needs object)
Adverb = Describer (no object)
🧩 3️⃣ Real-Life Example Comparison Table
| Word | As Preposition (has object) | As Adverb (no object) |
|---|---|---|
| After | I slept after lunch. | I went home, and she came after. |
| Before | Wash your hands before dinner. | I had seen him before. |
| In | She is in the room. | Come in! (no noun after ‘in’) |
| Up | He climbed up the hill. | Look up! (no object) |
| Down | The ball rolled down the street. | Sit down. |
| Outside | The dog is outside the house. | Wait outside. |
💡 Notice:
जब “after”, “in”, “up”, “down”, “outside” के बाद कोई noun आता है → Preposition
और जब नहीं आता → Adverb
⚙️ 4️⃣ Function Difference (Easy Breakdown)
| Aspect | Preposition | Adverb |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Shows relationship | Modifies verb/adjective/adverb |
| Object | Needs a noun/pronoun | No object |
| Example Word | in, on, at, before, after, under, between | here, there, up, down, near, inside |
| Example Sentence | The cat is under the bed. | The cat looked under. |
| Question it answers | Where is it? | How / Where / When did it happen? |
💬 5️⃣ Detailed Examples with Explanation
🟢 Example 1: “Before”
-
Preposition: I brushed my teeth before breakfast.
→ before + breakfast (noun) = Preposition -
Adverb: I have seen him before.
→ before (no object) = Adverb
🟣 Example 2: “Up”
-
Preposition: He walked up the stairs.
→ shows movement towards something (noun = stairs) -
Adverb: He woke up early.
→ modifies verb “woke” (no object)
🔵 Example 3: “After”
-
Preposition: She left after the movie.
-
Adverb: She left soon after.
🟠 Example 4: “Outside”
-
Preposition: The kids are playing outside the house.
-
Adverb: The kids are playing outside.
⚫ Example 5: “Over”
-
Preposition: The plane flew over the city.
-
Adverb: The game is over.
⚠️ 6️⃣ Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Don’t say: She went in the car inside.
✅ Say: She went inside the car.
❌ Don’t say: Come in the room. (wrong context)
✅ Say: Come into the room.
💡 “In” and “Into” का फर्क याद रखिए —
In = position (where something is)
Into = motion (where something goes)
💪 7️⃣ Practice Zone (Try it Yourself!)
Fill in the blanks with correct form (Preposition or Adverb):
-
The boy ran ___ the garden.
-
The sun is ___ the clouds.
-
She looked ___ and smiled.
-
Come ___! Don’t stay there.
-
The ball rolled ___ the hill.
✅ Answers:
-
through, 2. above, 3. up, 4. in, 5. down the hill
🌿 8️⃣ Guruji’s Pro Tips to Master This Concept
✅ Observe Daily English: जब आप English सुनें — ध्यान दें कि word के बाद noun है या नहीं।
✅ Double Example Method: हर word को Preposition और Adverb दोनों तरह से बोलकर देखें।
✅ Visualize the Movement: अगर कोई “motion” है, तो Adverb ज़्यादा likely है।
✅ Write One Example Daily: “Before”, “After”, “Up”, “Down”, “Outside” के साथ दो-दो वाक्य बनाएँ।
🏁 9️⃣ Conclusion
मित्रों, Grammar की ताकत “Rules” में नहीं, “Sense” में होती है।
Preposition और Adverb का फर्क समझना आसान है —
बस देखिए कि word के बाद object है या नहीं।
Preposition वाक्य को जोड़ता है,
Adverb वाक्य को सजाता है।
आप Grammar नहीं सीख रहे —
आप English को “Feel” करना सीख रहे हैं।
और यही फर्क है एक Learner और Fluent Speaker में।
