This topic is covered thoroughly
in Lesson 5, but for now, all you need to know is that Urdu uses
postpositions where English uses prepositions . Prepositions
are the little words that describe position relationships with respect
to places, objects, etc. Examples of English prepositions are: "in",
"to", "from", "by", "of." In English, prepositions go before
the nouns they refer to, but in Urdu, the postpositions go after
their nouns.
Compare the examples from Lessons
1 and 2, and note the difference between the English and Urdu word
order.
