Prepositions are usually considered uninflected parts of speech, meaning that they don't change their form according to the context or grammatical function they are used in. Prepositions can be used to refer to a location in time, such as before, after, during, and until. Some prepositions can also be used as adverbs, such as up, down, away, and out.
