Notes on prepositions<br />

Prepositions that follow nouns (postpositions)<br />

A number of common prepositions can follow the nouns to which they<br />

refer in which case the direction of the action is emphasized rather than<br />

the place of the action. When followed immediately by the verb in<br />

subordinate clauses or by past participles or infinitives in main clauses,<br />

these postpositions can be confused with separable prefixes (see 11.20.1.1<br />

(d)):<br />

Zij gaat de stad in. She is going to town.<br />

Hij ging de kamer uit. He went out of the room.<br />

6 It is possible to use benoorden, beoosten etc., e.g. benoorden de grote rivieren = ten<br />

noorden van de grote riverien ‘north of the great rivers’, but they are usually only found<br />

in the written language.<br />
