Preposition of place or movement
Hi Everyone,
I always thought that the word - through - is a preposition of movement.
'I'm walking though the house.'
However, most preposition sites and books say that it's one of place.
Does anyone think it's one of movement?
Thanks

Does anyone think it's one of movement? It's a moot point. You can't have movement except from place to place .

- I'd say it's both.
- Each individual sentence may emphasize one aspect or the other of the word "through".
