Finally, if you are behind someone, you support them. The country was behind the president.
If we turn now to think about beyond, beyond can also function as a preposition of place. If something is beyond a place, it is on the other side of it, as in the case of a house beyond the village.
But there's a more abstract meaning to beyond as well, it can mean to extend, continue or progress beyond a particular thing or means to extend or continue further than that thing or point. For example, few children remain in school beyond the age of 16.
Beyond also has some quite interesting idiomatic usages. If someone or something is beyond belief, understanding or control, it has become impossible to believe, understand or control it. The situation has changed beyond recognition.
If you say that something is beyond you, you mean that you cannot understand it. How he managed to find us is beyond me.
So, quite a few different meanings there to contend with, but I hope this helps you to identify which word you might use. |
