LETS continue…The capped word is meant to be the contracted form of LET US, but it’s wrongly written, for the mandatory hyphen between T and S is missing. The artist should’ve painted LET’S. Now the young man holding the placard at Tanzanite Bridge where our reader captured him, we’re certain, is agitating for a generation of INDEPENDENT (not dependent) YOUTH who are visionary and hardworking.

The preposition, if we’re to remind our colleagues again, is a word or group of words used before a noun, pronoun or noun phrase to show direction, time, place, location, special relationships or to introduce a subject. We’re talking words like: by, for, to, into, “in to,” which, at and with.

Prepositions are highly idiomatic, so their usage is fixed—that is, you aren’t allowed to alter or use one differently from the way the indigenous speakers use it!
