Assessing the Performance of Iraqi EFL - University Students in Using Prepositional Adverbs

Abstract

Prepositional adverbs are particles that have the same form of prepositions but they do not take a complement. They are of three types: prepositional adverbs related to simple prepositions, prepositional adverbs related to complex prepositions (two word prepositions), and prepositional adverbs related to complex prepositions (three word prepositions). Also, prepositional adverbs attached to some verbs to form phrasal verbs which could be either transitive or intransitive.
