Should I use the preposition "of" in the following context before the word "before" (or in the pronoun "it" after "before")?
"The word "pillow" is a countable noun and therefore you should put an
article before (of) it."
Now I understand that I have 3 choices:
1) …therefore you should put an article before."
2) …therefore you should put an article before it."
3) …therefore you should put an article before of it."
What is the correct choice?
