Preceeds (when, as you've done, the verb comes
last); though the verb usually comes first:
"fassis ty ben, a Sarra" sort of thing.

A conjugated preverb (which is no more than a
conjugated prep. attached to the verb) is
prefixed to the verb. A conjugated preposition
can preceed a verb (to which it is not prefixed!)
or a noun:
