My students are all Senior’s in college, and as such are prepping for their big college entrance examinations / English proficiency exams. Many of the come to me looking for help with their papers and writing practice, and I’ve been noticing a particular trend in their work.
They almost all have excellent understanding of noun, verb, adverb, adjective placement; however, two significant blocks for them are the Prepositions and the Articles (a, an, the). The students simply don’t understand how those words fit in with everything else.
So I pulled together a brief list of practice worksheets I found on the internet. Just in case someone else was interested, here they are!
Prepositions:
“A preposition is a part of speech, just like a noun or a verb. It connects a noun or pronoun to another word in the sentence, showing us the relationship between them. Prepositions usually answer the questions where? or when?, telling us about a person or object’s location in either time or space.”
