In French, there are simple prepositions ( à , chez, etc.) as well as longer prepositional phrases ( d'après, près de etc. ). Example: Il est allé chez le coiffeur. Elle habite près de Bordeaux. Unfortunately, prepositions often can't be translated literally.
The preposition de is generally summarized as "of, from, or about," but it has quite a few more meanings and uses than that. When de is followed by the definite article le or les, the two words must contract. However, de does not contract with the direct objects le and les. J'ai promis de le faire - I promised to do it.
