7 exercise sets available
Grammar Explanation
Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun (or pronoun) and other words in a sentence. They often indicate location, direction, time, or manner.
Common place prepositions: in, on, at, under, above, behind, in front of, between, next to.
Time prepositions include: at (specific time), on (days/dates), in (months/years/periods).
Examples
- •“The book is on the table.”
- •“She lives in New York.”
- •“The meeting is at 3 o'clock.”
- •“The cat is under the bed.”
- •“He walked between the trees.”
Tips
- 💡Use "in" for enclosed spaces and larger areas: in the room, in the city.
- 💡Use "on" for surfaces: on the table, on the wall.
- 💡Use "at" for specific points: at the corner, at home.
- 💡Some preposition usage must be memorized - they don't always translate directly from other languages.
