What does a dependent preposition mean?

A preposition is a word or phrase that connects the action of the subject to the object. In this sense, a dependent preposition means a connection word that always follows another specific word. These specific words can be verbs, adjectives, adverbs, among others. In order to show this dependency, let us lok at the post "dependent preposition 1" again.  

Some common prepositions: to, for, at, with, about, in, on, over, under, along, above, underneath,
