How do I use the Preposition under
Under is another commonly used Preposition.
In general, Prepositions communicate the position of an object relative to another. “Under” describes an object as below another.
For example, Americans refer to Australia as The Land Down Under because it’s located in the southern hemisphere. Are you in a land down under?
A fun and useful example might be “everything under the sun.” A native English speaker, especially in a film, may use this phrase to speak of each and every item that possibly exists.
Here’s another example, you may encounter a native English speaker saying “The keys are under the rug.” By saying this, the speaker is telling the listener that the house keys are located under the doormat.
Notice the use of a Determiner, “the,” “a” or “an,” with a Preposition. It’s common to use both a Determiner and Preposition in a sentence.
