Double Prepositions

What is a double preposition?

A double preposition is when you combine two simple prepositions either separately into one unit or into one word for specificity.

How do you form a double preposition?

To form a double preposition, you either put two prepositions side by side in a sentence, or combine two to make a new word.

Two separate: The bike was up against the tree.

New word: in + side = inside

The puppy rested inside the cardboard box.
