Helen Keller

Her birthplace in West Tuscumbia, Alabama, is now a museum^[1] and sponsors an annual "Helen Keller Day". Her birthday on June 27 is commemorated as Helen Keller Day in the U.S. state of Pennsylvaniaand was authorized at the federal level by presidential proclamation by President Jimmy Carter in 1980, the 100th anniversary of her birth.

Definition

• A preposition is a word or set of words that indicates location (in, near, beside, on top of) or some other relationship between a noun or pronoun and other parts of the sentence (about, after, besides, instead of, in accordance with). A preposition isn't a preposition unless it goes with a related noun or pronoun, called the object of the preposition.

Examples:
Let's meet before noon.
Before is a preposition; noon is its object.

We've never met before.
There is no object; before is an adverb modifying met.
