Prepositions, so called from the Latin præpono, (I place before,) are indeclinable words, which, in the Spanish language, always precede the noun, pronoun, or adverb which they govern.

Example.

Los, que perseverarán en el amor de Dios hasta la muerte, gozaran de la gloria del cielo. They, who will persevere in the love of God until death, will enjoy the glory of heaven.

The following list contains some words alphabetically arranged, governing certain prepositions.
