Is there a list of prepositions in English?
Prepositions appear very extensive in English and, therefore, cannot be presented in a complete list. The two problematic ones ‘ since ’ and ‘ for ’ are explained individually in detail in the difference of ‘since/for’. The following list is a compilation of frequently used prepositions in example sentences: “Sue moved in March.”
How do you test understanding of prepositions in English?
You can also test understanding by getting your students to use specific prepositions in their own original sentences. Only in this way can you know if they have fully grasped both the concept of prepositions in general and the meaning of particular prepositions.
Should prepositions be taught in alphabetical order?
While you could in theory teach prepositions in alphabetical order, it is generally more helpful to teach them in categories based on meaning, for example: prepositions of place — in the box, behind you, over my head prepositions of time — on Monday, in 1948, during the day, at night
