There are different kinds of prepositions in the English Language.
1. Prepositions of place
2. Prepositions of time
3. Prepositions of cause, reason, purpose
4. Prepositions of manner, standard...
5. Prepositions of contrast....are just a few to mention.
π The intention of the blogger here is not to elaborate on these different groups, but to provide you with some activities. Repeated activities will help you form an idea of the function of some prepositions. Most of the students do not perform well in prepositions. Most of the mistakes in writings are related to problems with prepositions. Therefore, usually, examiners do not forget to leave a question on prepositions. Hence, the activities I am going to include on this page will help you immensely to improve your knowledge of prepositions and their correct use in sentences.
