介词都是一些常用的小词汇，例如 at, for, in, on, to 等等。对于介词的定义，如下：“a word governing, and usually preceding, a noun or pronoun and expressing a relation to another word or element in the clause（介词通常是前置词，用来表达名词或代词与分句中其它单词或组成部分之间的关系）。”
一些示例如下： Thida works at the market. This coffee’s for Luca! Alejandro lives in Peru. Agnieszka’s on the bus. Mika’s listening to J-pop again.
英语母语的人们很少用错常用介词，但常常会理解错了非母语国家的人，这是因为他们经常将本国语言直接翻译成英语。在此，我们给您两个提高掌握介词能力的方法：
世界各地的英语学习者常常用错介词at, for, in, on, to，我们就其常见用法做以简单说明。 1）arrive at 还是 arrive in？ 我们总是arrive at [一个特定地点]，如school, a restaurant, the airport, your aunt’s house（但arrive in a city / a country）。 例如： × When we arrived to Claudio’s house… When we arrived at Claudio’s house… The train arrived at Shibuya station thirty seconds late. On Friday, the president arrived in Poland. The K-pop band arrived in Phnom Penh last week.
2）at night 你可以work hard in the morning, relax in the afternoon, eat dinner in the evening，但却只能go out at night。 因此： × We often go out in the night. We often go out at night. Krakow is beautiful at night.
3）look for 和 wait for 要是在找东西，那就是look for them 或search for them；如果是等待某事或某人，那就是wait for them。 例如： × I was looking my glasses. × Giulia was waiting me at the bus stop. I was looking for my glasses. Lukasz is looking for a new job. Giulia was waiting for me at the bus stop. Tevy is waiting for her sister to finish class.
4）for [一段时间] 表示一段时间内一直在做某事。例如： × I’ve been working here since five years. 要用 for a few minutes t h r e e m o n t h s t w e n t y y e a r s 如果表示从某个特定时间点开始一直在做某事，那就： 要用 since this morning / September / the day we met. 其它示例： I’ve been working here for five years. She hasn’t drunk coffee for years. Makikos’s been living in Yokohama since February. I haven’t seen her since yesterday morning.
5）in [月份和/或年份] 出现月份和年份，就要用介词in。例如： × It’s my birthday on July! It’s my birthday in July! Ola was born in 2004. 6）live / work / study in [城市或国家] 在某个城市或国家生活/工作/学习，这时都要用in。但你可以live at[一个具体的地址]；work for/at[一个具体组织]；study at [一个具体学校]。 例如： × I live at Tokyo. I live in Tokyo. Roberta works in Sassari. Hector studies in Canada.
Anialives at 34 ul. Karmelicka. Ryosuke works for Toyota. Dara studies at Phnom Penh International University.
7）on [日期] 表示在某个日期或星期几，需要使用介词on。 例如： × It’s my birthday in Saturday! It’s my birthday on Saturday! It’s my birthday on May 1st. （提醒注意，如果是仅仅说明月份，正确句式为It’s my birthday in May.）
8）depend on 跟在depend后面的介词总是on，除非只是说It depends。 例如： × It depends of what you want: Italian food or Chinese food. It depends on what you want: Italian food or Chinese food. We’ll go to either Disney World or the beach, depending on the weather. What do you usually have for breakfast – tea or coffee? – It depends!
9）welcome to[某个地点] 如果是欢迎来某处，那就一定是welcome to [a house, school, organization, city, country] 例如： × Welcome in Peru! Welcome to Peru! Welcome to Cagliari. Welcome to Meiji University. Welcome to the Plaza Hotel. We hope you enjoy your stay.
10）married to 如果是用married这一过去分词型式，那就一定是be / get married to someone，但是，如果只用作动词型式，就是marry somone。 例如： × He’s married with Kim. He’s married to Kim. Alessandro’s getting married to Sara next summer. Haruka is marrying my old school friend. 其它有关介词语法的文章，请查看： Different than、different from、different to如何不同呢?
