Decide whether the underlined word below is a preposition, interjection or conjunction.

Will Grandma stay in Florida through the winter?

Select the one most correct answer from the choices given.

preposition

conjunction

interjection

Even without knowing which is the underlined word, you can tell that:

there are 2 prepositions: "in" and "through." there isn't any conjunctions. there isn't any interjections.

In a sentence, prepositions are small words which serve to establish the relation between nouns, pronouns, phrases, and other words. They create the meaning between the subjects, the objects, the times, the places, etc. You will usually find prepositions directly before nouns.

Here, "in" introduces the link between the verb ("stay") and the location element ("Florida"), while "through" introduces the time element ("the winter").
