Prepositions of movement show movement from one place to another place. These prepositions always describe movement and we usually use them with verbs of motion.

 

We use prepositions after verbs to describe the direction of movement. It’s common to use these prepositions after verbs that describe movement (walk, run, come, go, drive, cycle, fly, etc.), although it is also possible to use them after other types of verbs (We talked over the fence, I looked into the room, etc.) or after nouns (the path to the beach, the road from Leeds, the way up the hill, etc.)

 

The most common preposition of movement is the preposition to, which describes movement in the direction of something, for example:

  • How do you go to work?
  • He drove to London in five hours.
  • Nobody came to the party :(

Note: Prepositions of movement are also called prepositions of direction.
