Unknown prepositions
New Journal Entry
How you all doing?
I have no idea what these are. Google doesn't come up with anything.
به سوی
به دنبال
از سوی
I understand these must be prepositions, but I don't understand how they work in Farsi sentences. Nothing in my grammar books are helping either, although I continually see these words. Can you please give me little sentences showing how they are used?
