Prepositions take on different meanings depending on context

Inter alia, last week's column discussed the preposition 'with'. That was prompted by a quoted passage that failed to adequately convey what the writer intended. In addition, we often come across expressions like; “He met up with" (he met with), "out of the window" (out the window), "inside of" (inside), "where did she go to"(where did she go), "where is your home at" (where is your home)or "put in the back of the car" (Put at the back or on the back seat).
