Prepositions are words that tell us where something is or when something happens. They help us describe the position or place of people, animals, and things.

Common Prepositions

  • in – The ball is in the box.
  • on – The book is on the table.
  • under – The cat is under the chair.
  • behind – The dog is behind the door.
  • between – The tree is between the house and the gate.
  • near – The school is near my house.
  • over – The bird is flying over the lake.
