In addition to, on behalf of, and other fixed multi-word prepositions.
Why you specifically
The rule
Many English prepositions appear in fixed multi-word phrases such as in addition to, on behalf of, in front of, and in accordance with. These phrases must be memorized as units because the exact preposition pattern is not interchangeable, and the noun phrase usually follows the whole phrase. After these expressions, do not place a full clause unless the structure clearly allows it.
