150 prepositions from Essberger, Josef (2012). English Preposition List. eBook

(accessed 2013, October 6)

“It is not possible to produce a ... [complete] list of English prepositions... Why? Because complex prepositions can theoretically be added to the language at any time. This ... [list includes] all 94 one-word prepositions (which are unlikely to change or be added to) and 56 complex prepositions (which may possibly be added to as the language evolves). This total of 150 prepositions is ... [complete] at the time of writing, and represents all the prepositions currently found in a good English dictionary such as the Concise Oxford Dictionary.” (p. 6)
