This is just a hodgepodge section --- many of the so-called particles are not just prepositions. The structure of Korean is different from English so there are no such thing as particles in English. It just happens that most particles are prepositions. In fact, though, particles are stuff thrown on the end of a noun or a verb or anything to do .... well, just about anything.
Here is a set from http://askakorean.blogspot.com/2007/11/korean-language-lessons-particle-i.html
These things are tossed onto the ends of nouns. Some of them change; the first have a consonant ending, the second do not:
Notice the changes as 이 -> 가, etc.
Note that a lot of these are in the verb ending database.
This should just give you an overview; you will need some practice however.
1. to
destination/place + 에
person + 에게 / 한테
These are similar to “on”, “to”, or “toward”.
그가 너에게 연필을 주었다. "He gave a pencil to you.”
내가 공을 벽에 던졌다. “I threw the ball on the wall.”)
컵이 바닥에 떨어졌다. (“Cup fell on the floor.”) 그녀가 그에게로 갔다. “She went to him.”)
일요일에 무엇을 하세요? What do you do on Sundays?
목요일에는 수업이 있어요. On Thursday(s), we have class.
주중에 바쁘세요? Are you busy during the week?
주말에는 틈이 많지오. On the weekends, you have a lot of free time, don't you?
There is another set here, too.
2. from/out of
origination/place + 에서 / 한테서 / 에게서 /게서 / 으로부터/로부터 Shows that the attached noun is the starting place of something. These are similar to “from”.
e.g. 내가 연필을 그에게서 받았다. “I received a pencil from him.”),그는 낸터캣에서 왔다. “He came from Nantucket.”
3. transition from or coming out of
– 으로/로.
e.g. 밤이 낮으로 바뀌었다. (“Night turned into day.”)
4. by, using, by means of
– 로, 으로서/로서.
e.g. 그녀가 사과를 칼로 깎았다. (“She peeled an apple with a knife.”)
5. capacity, in so far as
– 로, 으로써/로써. Shows that the attached noun is operating in a certain capacity. Similar to “as”.

Concerning 4 and 5, these are described in the grammar entry which is
here and here
6. cause
