Practice Identifying Prepositions in Context: Grade 4 ELA Activities

📚 Topic Summary

Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. They often tell you where something is located or when something happened. Think of them as little helpers that add detail to your sentences! For example, 'The cat is under the table' - 'under' is the preposition.
