| | | Prepositions are underappreciated. They may not have the flourish of adjectives or convey excitement like verbs, but they are a vital tool for effective communication.
We often think of prepositions as words which indicate location. In the interest of accuracy, you may, instead, wish to think of them as words which indicate the relationship between nouns, or pronouns, and other words or parts of a sentence.
Prepositions should not be confused with Adverbs. While prepositions show relationships, adverbs modify the meanings of verbs, adjectives or other adverbs. Can you see how the same word has been used differently in the following sentences?
Buzz Lightyear has travelled to infinity and beyond. (Adverb)
Narnia lies just beyond the wardrobe. (Preposition)
Unfortunately, learning the right preposition for every occasion requires lots of practice and memory work. Click on the image below to listen to the Preposition Song.

| | | Social Media: Terms and Conditions
|
| | A task force, headed by England's Children's Commissioner, recently shared its findings on how children are navigating the digital world. Approximately half of the children surveyed had Instagram accounts, but none of them could figure out its terms. When the same children viewed a simplified version of Instagram's terms, many found the content shocking, and some decided to stop using the platform. As stipulated in the onerous set of conditions, Instagram can allow anyone to use images posted by its users without crediting or even notifying the original poster. Additionally, users' personal information can be shared with other businesses. Critics have questioned if children can provide informed consent in these conditions.
