A preposition can show where people or things are located.
For example:
- The dog ran across the yard.
- The preposition across describes where the dog ran in relation to the yard.
- My friend jumped on the trampoline.
- The preposition on describes where the friend jumped in relation to the trampoline
A preposition can also show time relationships.
For example:
- I went to the store before school.
- The preposition before describes the time relationship between going to the sore and school.
- During the storm, my dog hid in the basement.
- The preposition during describes the time relationship between the storm and when the dog hid.
First, the students practiced identifying prepositions on pages 2 and 3 of their preposition packet. Then the students worked in pairs to play preposition "I Spy." The students were given the picture below. They had to write a sentence for each cat in the picture. For each sentence, they had to use a prepositional phrase. For example: "The cat is on the lamp."
