📚 Topic Summary

Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. They often tell us where something is located or when something happened. Think of them as the words that help you describe where or when! For example, in the sentence "The cat is on the table," the word "on" is a preposition.

This worksheet will help you practice using prepositions correctly. You'll learn new preposition words, fill in the blanks, and even use your critical thinking skills to understand how prepositions change the meaning of sentences. Get ready to explore the world of prepositions! 🌍
