What to Focus On

  • A preposition connects nouns or pronouns to other words in a sentence.
  • It shows relationships like place, time, direction, and manner.
  • The word that comes after a preposition is called its object.
  • Prepositions of place: in, on, under, above, below, between, behind, near, etc.
  • Prepositions of time: at, on, in, by, from, to, during, etc.
  • Prepositions of direction: to, into, towards, through, across, etc.
  • Always think about the meaning you want to convey.
  • Use prepositions of place correctly to show position.
  • Use prepositions of time correctly to show when something happens.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Prepositions show only physical location, like 'on' or 'under'.

'In' and 'into' mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably.

'At' is only used for places, not time.
