Preposition Quiz for ESL Students with Answers (PDF)

📚 Quick Study Guide

📍 Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence.

🗺️ Prepositions of Place: Indicate where something is located (e.g., *in*, *on*, *at*, *under*, *beside*, *between*, *above*, *below*).

⏱️ Prepositions of Time: Indicate when something happens (e.g., *at*, *on*, *in*, *before*, *after*, *during*, *until*, *since*, *for*).

➡️ Prepositions of Movement: Indicate movement or direction (e.g., *to*, *from*, *through*, *across*, *up*, *down*, *into*, *out of*).

💡 Common Mistakes: Avoid using prepositions unnecessarily. For example, don't say "where is it at?" Say "where is it?". Be careful with *in*, *on*, and *at* for time and place; they have specific uses!
