Starting with a preposition

A preposition phrase says where a noun is.

Each Saturday I go to the football field which sits behind the school.

A simple way to vary sentence patterns is to put the preposition first.

Behind the school sits the football field to which I go every Saturday.

Prepositions can be very simple, or can be a longer, more detailed explanation.

Examples
