Abstract: 
This research is about the dropping of prepositions in speech, a syntactic, semantic study. It studies prepositions in language in terms of their designations, meanings and types. It also addresses a significant side of this category of language which is the dropping of prepositions in language and the reasons behind such dropping. The study was divided into two parts; the first one is a standards one and has been widely discussed in syntax and language books. The other type is recognized by hearing and has been discussed in a very limit way in the books of language and syntax because such books have attributed such dropping to poetic necessity. Through this research, it is clear that there are reasons other than poetic necessity that allows for the dropping of prepositions in speech, this is evident through the many examples of poetry and prose in which the opinions of linguists have varied substantially.
