Also known as adpositions, preposition and postposition, ADP

Adpositions are a class of words used to express spatial or temporal relations (in, under, towards, behind, ago, etc.) or mark various semantic roles (of, for). The most common adpositions are prepositions (which precede their complement) and postpositions (which follow their complement).

AI overview

Adpositions are words that show relationships between things, such as where something is located (like "in" or "under"), when something happens (like "ago"), or what role something plays in a sentence (like "of" or "for"). They're important because they help clarify these spatial, temporal, and grammatical connections in language, and the most familiar types are prepositions, which come before their object, and postpositions, which come after.
