What Is a Preposition?

A preposition is a word that tells us where something is. For example: The cat is under the table.

Using 'In'

Use 'in' when something is inside something else. Example: The ball is in the box.

Using 'On'

Use 'on' when something is on the surface of something. Example: The book is on the table.

Using 'Under'

Use 'under' when something is below something else. Example: The teddy is under the chair.

Using 'By'

Use 'by' when something is very close to something. Example: The girl is by the bench.

Using 'Behind'

Use 'behind' when something is at the back of something. Example: The boy is behind the tree.

Using 'Next To'

Use 'next to' when something is beside something else. Example: The lamp is next to the sofa.

Using 'In Front Of'

Use 'in front of' when something is before something else. Example: The dog is in front of the door.
