Prepositions के नियम — समय, स्थान, गति, Since/For, By/Until और 64 Fixed Prepositions

संक्षिप्त उत्तर: Preposition वह शब्द है जो noun या pronoun से पहले आकर उसका संबंध वाक्य के दूसरे शब्दों से बताता है — समय, स्थान, दिशा या कारण। समय में at निश्चित क्षण के लिए (at 6 p.m., at night, at noon), on दिन और तारीख़ के लिए (on Monday, on 15 August) और in महीने, वर्ष, ऋतु और दिन के भागों के लिए (in May, in 2026, in winter, in the morning) आता है। since प्रारंभ-बिंदु (since 2015) और for अवधि (for two years) बताता है; by = "तक, उससे पहले" (समय-सीमा) और until/till = "तब तक लगातार"। स्थान में at बिंदु, in घिरा हुआ क्षेत्र और on सतह बताता है; गति में into (अंदर की ओर) और onto (ऊपर की ओर)। between दो के बीच, among दो से अधिक के बीच; beside = पास में, besides = के अतिरिक्त। परीक्षा का सबसे बड़ा भाग fixed prepositions है — consist of, comply with, abide by, prefer to, superior/inferior/senior/junior to, insist on, refrain from, congratulate on। और कुछ verbs के बाद preposition नहीं लगता — discuss, reach, resemble, enter (कमरे में), attack, emphasise।

2. सिलेबस में यह टॉपिक क्यों महत्वपूर्ण है?

Prepositions SSC CGL, CHSL और MTS के Fill in the Blanks, Error Spotting और Sentence Improvement — तीनों में नियमित रूप से आते हैं; सबसे अधिक प्रश्न fixed prepositions (consist of, comply with, prefer to) और अनावश्यक preposition (discuss about, reach at) पर होते हैं। REET और RPSC द्वितीय श्रेणी शिक्षक परीक्षा के English भाग में समय और स्थान के prepositions तथा उनका शिक्षण, और राजस्थान CET व RRB NTPC में fill in the blank के रूप में यही नियम पूछे जाते हैं। since/for का नियम English Tenses के Perfect tenses से सीधा जुड़ा है, और "go to school / at night / by bus" जैसे वाक्यांश Articles के लोप के नियम से।

परीक्षा उपयोगिता: ★★★★★

• SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS — Fill in the Blanks, Error Spotting, Cloze Test
• REET लेवल-1 व लेवल-2 — English भाषा खंड
• RPSC द्वितीय श्रेणी शिक्षक — English (जहाँ विषय लागू हो)
• राजस्थान CET (12th व Graduation स्तर)
• RRB NTPC व अन्य रेलवे परीक्षाएँ

3. समय के Prepositions

3.1 At, On, In

at	on	in
at 7 a.m., at half past six	on Monday, on Fridays	in January, in December
at noon, at midnight	on 15 August	in 2026, in the 1990s
at night	on Independence Day	in summer, in the rainy season
at sunrise, at sunset	on my birthday	in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening
at dawn, at dusk	on Monday morning	in the twenty-first century
at lunchtime, at dinner	on the morning of 5 May	in a week, in two hours (भविष्य — उतने समय बाद)
at the moment, at present	on time (ठीक समय पर)	in time (समय रहते, देर होने से पहले)

ध्यान दें: "in the morning" पर "on Monday morning" और "on the morning of 5 May" — जब दिन के भाग के साथ कोई दिन या तारीख़ जुड़ जाए तो on आता है। "at night" पर "in the night" भी विशेष अर्थ (रात के दौरान) में मिलता है; सामान्य प्रयोग at night है।

नोट: "at the weekend" (British) और "on the weekend" (American) — दोनों मानक रूप हैं; इसलिए weekend वाला प्रश्न इस नोट के क्विज़ में नहीं है।

3.2 On time बनाम In time

वाक्यांश	अर्थ	उदाहरण
on time	ठीक निर्धारित समय पर	The train arrived on time.
in time	देर होने से पहले, समय रहते	We reached the station in time to catch the train.

3.3 Since बनाम For

since (कब से — बिंदु)	for (कितनी देर से — अवधि)
since 2015, since Monday, since morning	for ten years, for three days, for two hours
She has lived here since 2015.	She has lived here for ten years.

since प्रायः Perfect या Perfect Continuous tense के साथ आता है; for हर tense के साथ आ सकता है — I stayed there for a week. I will stay for a week.

3.4 By बनाम Until / Till

Preposition	अर्थ	उदाहरण
by	निर्धारित समय तक या उससे पहले (deadline) — क्रिया एक बार पूरी होती है	Please submit the form by Friday.
until / till	उस समय तक लगातार — क्रिया जारी रहती है	The shop remains open until 9 p.m.
not … until	उससे पहले नहीं	He did not come until midnight.

कसौटी: "पूरा कर लेना है" (finish, submit, reach, complete) → by; "चलता रहेगा" (wait, stay, remain, work) → until/till।

3.5 During, For, While

शब्द	बाद में	प्रश्न का उत्तर	उदाहरण
during (preposition)	noun	कब? (किस अवधि के भीतर)	He slept during the lecture.
for (preposition)	अवधि	कितनी देर?	He slept for two hours.
while (conjunction)	clause (subject + verb)	जब तक / जिस समय	He slept while the teacher was speaking.

"During the teacher was speaking" गलत — during के बाद clause नहीं, noun आता है।

3.6 Within, After, Before, Ago, From…to

शब्द	अर्थ	उदाहरण
within	उस अवधि के भीतर (उससे पहले भी)	Reply within a week.
in (भविष्य)	उतना समय बीतने पर	I will be back in an hour.
after	किसी घटना/समय के बाद	We will meet after lunch.
before	किसी घटना/समय से पहले	Come before 10 a.m.
ago (adverb)	आज से उतना समय पहले — Simple Past के साथ	He left two years ago.
from … to / till	आरंभ से अंत तक	The office is open from 10 to 5.

4. स्थान के Prepositions

4.1 At, In, On

at (बिंदु)	in (घिरा क्षेत्र)	on (सतह / रेखा)
at the gate, at the door	in the room, in the box	on the table, on the wall
at the bus stop, at the station	in the garden, in the park	on the floor, on the roof
at home, at school, at work	in Jaipur, in Rajasthan, in India	on the bus, on the train, on a ship
at the top / bottom of the page	in the car, in a taxi	on page 10, on the screen
at the end of the road	in the sky, in the world	on the left / right

गाड़ियाँ: सार्वजनिक/बड़े वाहन — on the bus, on the train, on a plane; छोटे निजी वाहन — in the car, in a taxi; साधन बताने में — by bus, by car (बिना article)।

4.2 Arrive at / Arrive in

छोटे स्थान या भवन — arrive at the station, at the airport, at the school; बड़े शहर या देश — arrive in Jaipur, in India। "arrive to" गलत है। reach के साथ कोई preposition नहीं — He reached Delhi (न कि reached at / to Delhi)।

4.3 In बनाम Into, On बनाम Onto

स्थिति (Position)	गति (Movement)
The fish are in the pond.	The boy jumped into the pond.
She is in the kitchen.	She went into the kitchen.
The book is on the shelf.	He put the book onto the shelf.
The cat is on the wall.	The cat jumped onto the wall.

नोट: put, place, sit जैसी verbs के साथ "on" भी सामान्य है (Put the book on the table)। परीक्षा में अंतर मुख्यतः "jump/go/walk/fall + into" वाले वाक्यों में पूछा जाता है।

4.4 Between बनाम Among

between	among
दो व्यक्ति/वस्तुएँ	दो से अधिक व्यक्ति/वस्तुएँ (समूह)
Divide the sweets between the two children.	Divide the sweets among the five children.
There is a river between the two villages.	He is popular among his classmates.
between you and me	among the trees

नोट: दो से अधिक अलग-अलग, स्पष्ट रूप से गिनाई गई इकाइयों के आपसी संबंध में भी between आता है — a treaty between India, Nepal and Bhutan। परीक्षा का मूल नियम "दो — between, अधिक — among" ही है। "between…and" सही; "between…or" या "between…to" गलत।

4.5 Beside बनाम Besides

beside = पास में, बगल में	besides = के अतिरिक्त, के अलावा
She sat beside her mother.	Besides English, he knows French.
The temple is beside the lake.	Besides being a teacher, she is a writer.

4.6 Above / Over, Below / Under, Across / Through / Along

Preposition	अर्थ	उदाहरण
above	ऊपर (ऊँचे स्तर पर, स्पर्श नहीं)	The fan is above the table.
over	ठीक ऊपर / ढकते हुए / पार	The plane flew over the city.
below	नीचे (निचले स्तर पर)	The temperature fell below zero.
under	ठीक नीचे, ढका हुआ	The cat is under the bed.
across	एक किनारे से दूसरे किनारे (सतह पर)	He swam across the river.
through	के बीच से होकर (अंदर से)	The train passed through a tunnel.
along	के किनारे-किनारे, लंबाई में	We walked along the road.
opposite	सामने	The bank is opposite the post office.
behind	पीछे	The garden is behind the house.
in front of	सामने, आगे	He stood in front of the class.

---

5. गति (Movement) के Prepositions

Preposition	दिशा	उदाहरण
to	किसी गंतव्य तक	She goes to Kota every week.
towards	की ओर (पहुँचना आवश्यक नहीं)	The dog ran towards me.
from	से (आरंभ-स्थान)	He came from Udaipur.
into	बाहर से अंदर	He walked into the hall.
out of	अंदर से बाहर	She came out of the room.
onto	नीचे से ऊपर की सतह पर	The boy climbed onto the stage.
off	सतह से अलग होकर	He fell off the horse.
up / down	ऊपर की ओर / नीचे की ओर	They climbed up the hill and ran down the slope.
across	पार	The children walked across the bridge.
through	बीच से होकर	We drove through the forest.
past	के पास से आगे निकलना	The bus went past the school.
round / around	चारों ओर	The earth moves round the sun.

ध्यान दें: home के साथ to नहीं — "go home", "come home" (न कि go to home)। पर "at home" स्थिति के लिए सही है।

6.1 Latin Comparatives — "than" नहीं, "to"

superior, inferior, senior, junior, prior, prefer, preferable के बाद तुलना के लिए to आता है, than नहीं — He is senior to me (न कि senior than me)। I prefer walking to running (न कि than running)।

6.2 die of / die from — नोट

पारंपरिक textbooks में रोग के लिए "die of" (die of cancer) और बाहरी कारण, घाव या अधिक काम के लिए "die from" (die from a wound) बताया जाता है। आधुनिक प्रयोग में दोनों का अंतर ढीला हो गया है, इसलिए यह जोड़ा इस नोट के क्विज़ में नहीं रखा गया है।

6.3 Preposition नहीं लगता — Transitive Verbs

गलत	सही
We discussed about the matter.	We discussed the matter.
He reached at the station.	He reached the station.
She resembles to her mother.	She resembles her mother.
He entered into the room.	He entered the room.
The enemy attacked on the city.	The enemy attacked the city.
He emphasised on discipline.	He emphasised discipline.
The police are investigating into the case.	The police are investigating the case.
She married with a doctor.	She married a doctor.
Answer to my question.	Answer my question.
He ordered for a cup of tea.	He ordered a cup of tea.

Noun रूप में preposition लगता है: a discussion on/about, an attack on, emphasis on, an answer to, an investigation into, an order for। verb और noun का यही अंतर परीक्षा में सबसे अधिक फँसाता है। इसी प्रकार "enter into an agreement / a discussion" (किसी समझौते में प्रवेश करना) सही है — यहाँ अर्थ भौतिक प्रवेश का नहीं।

---

7. परीक्षा में कौन-सी गलतियाँ होती हैं? (Exam Trap)

Trap 1: discuss about, reach at

discuss, reach, resemble, enter (स्थान), attack, emphasise — इनके बाद सीधे object आता है। "discuss about" गलत; पर noun "discussion about" सही।

Trap 2: senior than, prefer than

Latin comparatives के बाद to — "senior to", "superior to", "prefer tea to coffee"।

Trap 3: since और for की अदला-बदली

"since three days" गलत (for three days); "for 2010" गलत (since 2010)।

Trap 4: by बनाम until

"Finish the work until Monday" — गलत; deadline के लिए by — "Finish the work by Monday"। "Wait by Monday" — गलत; "Wait until Monday"।

Trap 5: during + clause

"during he was sleeping" — गलत; clause हो तो while: "while he was sleeping"; noun हो तो during: "during his sleep"।

Trap 6: between… or / among दो के लिए

"between Ram or Shyam" — गलत (between Ram and Shyam)। दो व्यक्तियों के लिए among गलत — "Divide it between the two"।

Trap 7: beside / besides

"Beside English, he knows Hindi" — गलत (अतिरिक्त का अर्थ — Besides)। "He sat besides me" — गलत (पास में — beside)।

Trap 8: married with, angry on

"married with" — गलत; "married to" या "married" (verb, बिना preposition)। व्यक्ति पर क्रोध के लिए मानक रूप "angry with someone" है; "angry on" गलत है।

Trap 9: go to home

home के साथ गति में to नहीं — "go home", "come home", "reach home"।

Trap 10: congratulate for

"congratulate you for your success" — मानक नियम में "congratulate you on your success"।

9. परीक्षा में यह टॉपिक कैसे पूछा जाता है

1. Fill in the blank (fixed preposition): "Choose the correct option to fill in the blank: The committee consists ____ seven members." — (a) in (b) of (c) with (d) from → (b) of।
2. Error spotting (अनावश्यक preposition): "निम्न वाक्य में त्रुटि वाला भाग चुनिए: The officers (A) / discussed about (B) / the new policy (C) / No error (D)" → (B); सही — discussed।
3. Latin comparative: "He is junior ____ me." — to (than नहीं)।
4. समय: at/on/in, since/for, by/until के विकल्प।
5. स्थान व गति: in/into, between/among, beside/besides।
6. Sentence improvement: "He is married with a teacher." → married to।
7. Cloze test: अनुच्छेद में 4–5 prepositions के रिक्त स्थान।

रणनीति: पहले देखें कि रिक्त स्थान के पहले verb/adjective है जिसका fixed preposition है (तालिका 6), फिर समय/स्थान का प्रकार पहचानें। विकल्प में "no preposition" या verb का सीधा object हो तो discuss/reach/resemble वाली सूची याद करें।

---

10. इसे आसानी से याद कैसे रखें?

2. "By = Before or at; Until = लगातार": submit by, wait until।

3. "Two = beTWeen": between में "tw" — two का संकेत; अधिक के लिए among।

4. "Besides में s = something more": besides = के अतिरिक्त; beside = बगल।

5. "-ior + to": superior, inferior, senior, junior, prior — सबके बाद to।

6. "DREAM-E बिना preposition": Discuss, Reach/Resemble, Enter (स्थान), Attack, Marry, Emphasise।

7. "from वाले रोकने वाले": prevent from, refrain from, abstain from, exempt from — सबमें "दूर रहना/रोकना" का भाव।

---

"at the morning" शुद्ध है। — गलत (in the morning)।

"since three days" शुद्ध है। — गलत (for three days)।

14. निष्कर्ष: परीक्षा के लिए क्या याद रखें?

Prepositions के प्रश्न तीन वर्गों में बँटते हैं — समय (at/on/in, since/for, by/until, during/while), स्थान और गति (at/in/on, into/onto, between/among, beside/besides) और fixed prepositions। पहले दो वर्ग तर्क से हल होते हैं, तीसरा केवल अभ्यास से। साथ ही उल्टा जाल भी याद रखें — discuss, reach, resemble, enter, attack, emphasise जैसी verbs के बाद कोई preposition नहीं लगता, जबकि उनके noun रूप (discussion on, attack on, emphasis on) preposition लेते हैं। 64 जोड़ों और 54 वाक्यों की तालिकाओं को नियमित दोहराने से यह अध्याय परीक्षा में अंक दिलाने वाला बन जाता है।

In (बड़ा) → On (दिन) → At (क्षण) | since = बिंदु, for = अवधि | by = deadline, until = लगातार | between = दो, among = अधिक | -ior + to | discuss/reach/resemble — बिना preposition
