PrepositionsA preposition is a word like on, across, in or from. that comes in front of a noun to indicate
movement or position - in Latin they are followed by either the accusative or the ablative.
Preposition + Accusative
These mostly indicate motion towards or through:
Preposition Meaning
ad to, towards, at
apud among, at the house of
circum around
in into, onto
inter among
per through, along
post after
prope near
sub under, beneath
trans across
ante before, in front of

NOTE - with the name of a town, city, or island small enough to count as a town, the
preposition and the accusative indicates motion towards the noun:
Romam festinavimus - we hurried to Rome.
The accusative of domus (house/home) is also used without a preposition.
