The prepositions They are a group of words with a rather abstract and general meaning since they can denote position, movement, time, causal succession, purpose or notion, independently or together.

The main function of prepositions is to link words and they are invariable and unchangeable: prepositions constitute a fairly limited group of words, which the Royal Spanish Academy counts as twenty-three. These are:

to, before, under, fits, with, against, from, from, during, in, between, to, to, through, for, by, safe, according, without, so, on, after, via and versus.

Polysemic prepositions

The question of the abstract meaning of prepositions means that the extension of each of them cannot be fully defined. For example, some such as 'de' or 'en' can reach more than ten different meanings depending on the case.

In addition to the traditional list of prepositions, there are some expressions that do not belong to the category and can still be used with a prepositive character, which happens both in a simple way (save, even save) or in compound form (despite, over, after).
