Out of these of, to, and in are the most common ones

English is a very funny language. 



Types of preposition. 

1. Transitive preposition 
2. Intransitive preposition 
3. Conjunctive preposition 
4. Complex preposition 
5. Phrase proposition 

I am tell about 2 types of preposition. 

1. Transitive preposition 

Transitive prepositions are those that cannot function without a complement. They always need to be followed by word or a phrase in order complete their meaning. 

Ex. She lived amongst the wildflowers.
He ran towards the hill. 

2. Intransitive preposition 

Unlike the transitive preposition, an intransitive preposition does not require a complement to complete english the thought .
Many grammarians say that intransitive preposition are nothing but adverbs. 

Ex. She lived outside
There is no else to hide behind
