Prepositions - Worksheet

The worksheet focuses on the identification and usage of prepositions, which are words that provide information about location or time within a sentence. For the first part, students are required to read through ten sentences and underline the prepositions that denote either the location or the time aspect of the sentence. For example, in the sentence "During the afternoon, the small child had a nap," the word 'During' is the preposition indicating the time when the child had a nap. Similarly, in "The star shone brightly on top of the Christmas Tree," the phrase 'on top of' acts as the preposition pinpointing the location of the shining star.

In the second part of the worksheet, students are encouraged to get creative by choosing suitable prepositions to complete given sentences. This exercise not only tests their understanding of prepositions but also allows them to explore different contexts in which these can be used. For instance, the sentence "The boy raced __________ the park" could be completed with prepositions such as 'through', 'across', or 'around', depending on the intended meaning. The activity is designed to enhance the students' grasp of how prepositions can alter the sense of a sentence and to reinforce their ability to use prepositions correctly in various situations.
