False, a preposition is not always followed by a noun. It can also be followed by a pronoun, gerund, or noun phrase.
True. A preposition is a word governing, and usually preceding, a noun or pronoun and expressing a relation to another word or element in the clause.
A preposition should be followed by an object or a noun but never a verb
A preposition typically is followed by an object which considered a noun, so true.it is a rule that preposition should be followed by a noun or pronoun but never a verb.
False. A Preposition is generally followed by a noun or a pronoun but not always is the case. A Preposition has to have an object but the object does not necessarily have to follow the preposition. E.g What are you looking for? I am looking for my 🏀 ball.

Not so genius, but this has worked with my Asian and Latino students: Substitute all "Th-" in words with a "D-", as it is an easier starting point e.g. instead of "The", ask them to say De(almost like a form of pidgin english: de boi VS the boy). Its a matter of throat to tongue, where sounds with "T" and "D" are easier to begin with and then you will gradually progress to the "Th-" sounds as the find confindence and comfort. You could always tell them to pretend they are blowing out candles on a birthday cake; and for the "Th" sound their tongue should gently touch their teeth, like in words like "Thin" or "This". Have them practice the not so elated soft "Th" sound-- its like their tongue is having a short siesta on their teeth! Such a mental jounery and lots of creativity will get you through a lot of pronounciation hurdles.

The biggest challenge I faced while learning English was understanding and using different tenses correctly. It took time to get used to the various rules and exceptions.
