Prepositions play an important role in the meaning of Persian sentences and in teaching/ learning this language, one of the most difficult points is the discussion of prepositions. In second language learning, these letters are in the last category of categories that language learners learn. Therefore, it is necessary for Persian language textbooks to pay special attention to teaching these letters. The purpose of this study is to study the Persian-to-Persian teaching set from the perspective of teaching these letters in order to study the teaching methods, the number of additional letters taught and the frequency of their occurrence. The reason for choosing this collection is its versatility and wide range of users. The results of the research indicate that the teaching method of these letters is traditional, educational and in some cases inductive/ implicit and the learners should learn them through the examples provided or reading the texts and through exploratory. Of the 89 simple and compound/ group suffixes used, the most frequent occurrence of those letters is 'to, to, in, from, with and for.' Using appropriate images for teaching, not using intermediate language, using input reinforcement technique, pointing out the consonance of some verbs with special prepositions of strengths and not referring to the pronunciation of prepositions, using only inductive and footnote methods- Disorders are one of the weaknesses of this collection. The results of the present study can be used by the authors of such books.
