Select the best preposition to match the picture

  • A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun (or pronoun) and other words in a sentence.
  • It often tells us where something is located, when it happens, or how it’s related to something else.

  • In (inside something)
  • On (touching a surface)
  • Under (below something)
  • Above (higher than something)
  • Next to (beside something)
  • Between (in the space separating two things)

  • Look closely at the picture and think about the relationship between the objects.
  • Ask yourself:
    • Is something inside? Use in.
    • Is it on top? Use on.
    • Is it below? Use under.
    • Is it next to something? Use next to.
    • Is it between two things? Use between.

  • Look at the picture of a cat sitting on a table.
    • The best preposition is on.
  • Look at the picture of a dog sleeping under a bed.
    • The best preposition is under.

  • Using the correct preposition helps make your sentences clear and shows the exact position or relationship of things.
