These prepositions are called compound prepositions, or multisyllabic prepositions. Like most prepositions, they have both literal and figurative meanings. David explains.
The need for this particular grammar arises from the peculiar shape of the MDiv curriculum at Asbury Theological Seminary. Several years ago the faculty adopted a curriculum that required one semester of Greek and one semester of Hebrew, each as preparatory for a basic exegesis course in each discipline.
It became clear after several years of trial and error that a “lexical” or “tools” approach to learning Greek and Hebrew was inadequate, no matter how skilled the instructors or how motivated the students. In today's general vacuum of grammatical training in public education across the United States, students typically enter seminary training with no knowledge of how languages work. Any training we might give them in accessing grammatical information through the use of Bible software programs will, we learned, come to naught in the absence of an understanding of just what such information actually means. We agreed that we actually needed to “teach the language itself,” at least in some rudimentary fashion, if we hoped students would make sense of grammatical and linguistic issues involved biblical interpretation.
The first 12 chapters of this grammar are designed to correspond to the first semester's instructional agenda. In these chapters we introduce all the parts of speech, explain and drill the basic elements of grammar, set forth the larger verb system (excluding the perfect system), teach the tenses of the Indicative Mood only (again, excluding the perfect system), and help students build a vocabulary of all NT words occurring 100 times or more. We also lead students into the NT itself with carefully chosen examples, while at the same time guiding them in each lesson to learn the use of the standard NT lexicon [BDAG] and an exegetical grammar [Wallace's Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics]. We are well aware of the limitations of this approach, but genuinely believe that some instruction along these lines is better than none, and that such an approach provide a foundation for students interested in moving beyond the first semester (into chapters 13-24) into a firmer grasp of the language of the NT.

In this activity, students will be practicing with prepositions of location and school supplies. In the warm-up, they will draw an image based on directions given by the teacher. In the main activity, they will describe the location of school supplies scattered on the table using prepositions.
In this activity, students are going to practice their prepositions. The lab instructor will read out the steps below and the students will draw what you say on their whiteboard. Students will also play a game of "I Spy" to practice using prepositions.
In this activity, students are going to practice their prepositions, as well as their school supplies vocabulary.

Part of an appendix to the eMuslim website, this is a document containing simple grammar reference charts. The charts do not contain explanations but rather Arabic examples of each grammatical concept. Concepts covered include subject and predicate, nouns and adjectives, the genitive case, plurals, gender, prepositions, possessive pronouns, verb conjugations, imperatives, active and passive participles, and masdars. The reference is two pages.
This website includes the entire Qur'an, searchable by chapter. An audio component is available for users to listen to the Qur'an as they are reading it in Arabic and in English translation. English words in red include exegesis of the term. The 'learn Arabic' portion of this Qur'an website includes analysis of Arabic grammatical structures. Included are charts of the alphabet, personal pronouns, prepositions, verbs and adverbs, and a verbal sentence equation that helps students construct sentences by choosing a subject, verb, and direct object.
Prepositions help show us where things are in space and time.
Students play with and explore prepositions during a whole group reading of Ruth Heller's Behind the Mask, and then by composing and publishing prepositional poems based on the book's style.
Students deepen and refine their understanding of prepositions by reading Ruth Heller's Behind the Mask. They write preposition poetry and create a study guide using an online tool.
Prepositional phrases are word chunks that begin with a preposition.
The attached student lesson is designed for Grade 4 English Language Arts students. Students will apply knowledge of word structure elements, known words, and word patterns to identify and utilize prepositions.This student lesson addresses the following NDE Standard: NE LA 5.1.5.a.It is expected that this student lesson will take students 90 minutes to complete.

This lesson focuses on artworks that depict things people use for a meal. Students will build vocabulary and enhance language arts skills while learning about still life in a painting. Activities emphasize prepositions of location -- through discussions about objects depicted in the featured work of art.
This is a tutorial on the very basics of Arabic grammar. Using vocabulary built on the Qur'an and the hadith, the tutorial uses vocabulary lists and translation exercises to teach grammatical points. The answers are included in the exercises. Grammar covered in the first half of this tutorial includes the subject and predicate, gender, numbers, the genitive case, interrogatives, pronouns, and prepositions. Charts of pronouns and attached pronouns are included in the tutorial.
