The article focuses on the status of prepositions in the system of complex prepositions in the English language, the criteria for distinguishing complex prepositions from other types of prepositional phrases, the stages of lexicalization and grammaticalization of prepositions, semantic development, and morphosyntactic changes in the structure of prepositions. Scientists' opinions about the complex preposition are reacted to and scientific conclusions are given. The status of prepositions expressed in complex prepositions is explained by means of examples taken from English literary works.
