Direction Prepositions in Tamil grammar are essential building blocks that help in forming coherent and grammatically correct sentences. They play an important role in indicating the direction of something or someone and can be used to describe where an object is, where it’s going, and where it came from. These prepositions add clarity and precision to the description of any movement or position. Knowing how to use these prepositions correctly can greatly enhance communication skills in Tamil.
