The catđ is on the table.
Prepositions are wordsđ that tell you where𤡠something is located or positioned compared to something else.
Prepositions can also tellđŁď¸ you whenâ something happened.
We use prepositions all the timeđ when we are describing peopleđ§âđ¤âđ§, placesđĽ, and thingsâ˝!
Let's look đat some examples :
1. The manđ¨ is runningđââď¸ across the streetđŁď¸.
2. The cakeđ is in the fridgeđ§.
3. I practise my guitarđ¸ on Tuesdaysđ .
4. My mumđŠ cut the cakeđ° with a knifeđŞ.
How do we use prepositions in a sentence?
When using a preposition, we must always â have the subject and verb before âŹ ď¸ it and follow âĄď¸ it with a noun. You should never â followâĄď¸ it with a verb!
Let's practise!
1. The plane(subject)âď¸ flew(verb) over(preposition) the houses (noun)đď¸.
2. He (subject)đŚđť sat(verb) on(preposition) the chair(noun)đŞ.
1. Preposition Simonđ Says
Give each other directions such as:
Simon đsays stand on your chairđŞ.
Simon đsays put your hand â under your chairđŞ.
Simon đsays hold your chairđŞ in front of you.
Play this game with friendsđĽ, parents đŠâđŠâđ§âđŚ or classmates at schoolđ!
2. Where'sđ¤ˇââď¸ the toy?
Grab your favourite toy 𧸠and move it around the houseđĄ. At each place make a sentenceđŁď¸ about where 𤡠your toy is.
For example, 'My toy 𧸠is on the chairđŞ. ' or ' My toy 𧸠is under the table.'
For each sentence, you score 1 pointđ. Can you get 10 đ points?
3. Scavenger hunt đ
Ask mum đŠ or dad đ¨â𦱠to 5 objects around the houseđĄ. It can be anything!
Go around findingđ the objects that aređ hidden. Once they are đfound, shout đŁď¸ out the sentence 'I found it _______. (the place where you đfound it).
For example, I found the boxđŚ on the sofa.
