Een Engels voorzetsel kan meerdere Nederlandse vertalingen hebben en in verschillende situaties gebruikt worden.
Sommige Engelse voorzetsels lijken op Nederlandse voorzetsels, maar betekenen iets anders. Het is daarom belangrijk dat je niet alleen kijkt naar de vertaling van een voorzetsel, maar ook naar de situatie waarin het wordt gebruikt.

Grappig voorbeeldje van het gebruik van voorzetsels:
The old farmhouse stood for years, after the revolution, by the fork in the road, beyond the orange grove, over the wooden bridge, at the farthest edge of the family's land, toward the great basin, down in the valley, under the old mining town, outside the city's limits, and past the end of the county maintained road.
