IMPORTANT
Det finns enkla och sammansatta prepositioner. Ibland hänvisas i grammatisk facklitteratur till 'Single' or 'Simple Prepositions' & 'Compound' eller 'Complex Prepositions'. Har du för avsikt att ägna särskild tid och kraft åt studier av prepositioner så bör du vara bevandrad i terminologin alternativt du kommer inte att få ett tillräckligt underlag för en fördjupning i ämnet. Svensk litteratur i ämnet engelska med inriktning på prepositioner är inte alltid särskilt uttömmande ur engelsk synpunkt.

There are single (simple) and compound (complex) prepositions. Make sure you are aware of the terminology. Complex (compound) prepositions consist of two- or three-word combinations acting as a single unit.
Look at these 2-word combination examples: according to, along with, apart from, because of, contrary to, due to, except for, instead of, prior to, regardless of.
3-word combinations might look like this: Single (Simple) Preposition + Noun + Single (Simple) Preposition.
Examples: in aid of, on behalf of, in front of, in accordance with, in line with, in relation to, with reference to, with respect to, by means of. These combinations also come before a noun.

A Stranded Preposition is simply a preposition left a bit off-side:
Those are the cars Henry talked about.
That's the incident with the tail-light Andrea thought of.
