介词是一种虚词,在句中不能单独作句子成分;它只表示其后的名词或起名词作用的词语与其他句子成分之间的关系。介词虽然是虚词,但在英语中起着极其重要的作用。难怪语言学家常称英语为介词的语言(a language of preposition)。 本章练习是根据《全国硕士研究生入学考试英语考试大纲》所列的词汇表编拟的。考生在进行操练时,要特别注意某些动词、名词、形容词和副词与特定介词的搭配关系以及考试 例1: my return, I learned that professor Smith had been at the Museum and would not be back in several hours.
