Okay well what do you think is the definition of a preposition?

anonymous · Answer

a member of a set of words used in close connection with, and usually before, nouns and pronouns to show their relation to another part of a clause. An example is "off" in "He fell off his bike" and "What did he fall off?"

anonymous · Answer

That is the definition. So do you think the noun is Terry or Hill?

anonymous · Answer

Terry?

I believe that it is actually hill. So the ______verb_______word before the noun_________noun____________ so it would be /up the hill.
