Why isn't ahead a preposition if behind is?

Because you can't say "the motorcycle drove ahead the motorcade".

But you can say "the motorcycle drove next TO the motorcade", and you can say "the motorcycle drove ahead OF the motorcade"

Yes ahead isn’t the preposition it’s more like the adverb

You can be behind a car (eg), but not ahead a car. It would be ahead of.

"a" and "an" are articles, which are adjectives, not prepositions. For some reason, no two or three word prepositions seem to be included in the quiz, such as "in spite of" or "ahead of." These are called compound prepositions.

"A/an" can be used like "per". For example "X miles an hour".

Agree about "a" and "an" . . . why not "the"? Because they're not prepositions! Quite a few have been added since I was in the sixth grade. Including the French "sans". Why is that the only non-English word included?

When the doctor tells you to take your pills twice a day or when something costs a dime a dozen, "a" is a preposition. It means "per."

Wow. Guess I mostly thought of 'but' as a conjunction. And not really familiar w/ 'abaft'. Learned something today.

"A" and "an" are prepositions when they're used in the same sense as "per," as in "twice a day."

Remainder after multiples of a given factor are removed. For example, 7 modulo 4 is 3, while 8 modulo 4 is 0, and 9 modulo 4 is 1...etc.

Wouldn't "left" and "right" be considered prepositions?
RobNobody

No, because in order to use them as prepositions you have to pair them with "of." Like, you can be behind something, or before it, or around it, but you can't be right it. You have to be right OF it, so "of" is the actual preposition.

In 8th grade – which was, alas, a very, very long time ago – we had to memorize "all" of the prepositions. Frighteningly, I still remembered most of them, plus guessed several more… and still only got a 41! So, sorry Miss Holmes; I'm afraid your "complete" list was not so complete!

Many of these are nouns, adjectives, participles, and adverbs rather than prepositions, and I believe there are some prepositions that are not included (unto, for example)

I think you're right that they may be some missing, but I'm pretty sure all of the ones listed are indeed prepositions, at least when used in the correct context.

Your source has changed and is now listing "next" as an archaic preposition, the same as "unto", among other changes. Are you planning an update?

could "half" be considered a preposition? And are multiple word prepositions not counted as prepositions in English? One of the first prepositions I learnt in English was "in front of" so I was a bit disappointed with it not being accepted here

Some of these are seriously debatable as prepositions.

And what happened to *unto*?

I suggest you check with a reputable dictionary rather than Wiki

There is also OUTWITH, used in Scottish English a bit like OUTSIDE, but also in legalese (eg, this is outwith our remit)
