Abstract

Prepositions are important when constructing sentences and phrases both in English and Ukrainian. For native speakers, problems such as grammatical errors involving prepositions are rare. However, English language learners who are native speakers of Ukrainian language might face certain difficulties using prepositions as not all of knowledge about prepositions is transferable from Ukrainian to English. What the author considers to be transferable knowledge is direct and full coincidence in preposition function as well as translation. So items of prepositions and their functions can be completely transferred from one language to another, logically acquirable due to prescriptive rules or might need to be just memorized.
