What Are Prepositions?
• Prepositions are words that connect nouns or pronouns to
other words in a sentence. They describe relationships in
terms of time, place, direction, cause, manner, and
instrumentality. For example, in the sentence "The cat is
under the table," the word "under" shows the relationship
between the cat and the table. Prepositions are essential for
clarity in both written and spoken English. Throughout this
presentation, you will learn about different types of
prepositions and how to use them correctly in a variety of
situations.
Importance of Prepositions
• Understanding and using prepositions correctly is crucial for
effective communication. They help specify when and where
something happens, the way things happen, and the
relationships between ideas. Prepositions often appear in
phrases, making it easier to add detail and depth to your
sentences. Misusing a preposition can completely change the
meaning of a sentence or make it grammatically incorrect. For
example, "She is at the school" is different from "She is in the
school." Prepositions help listeners and readers understand
your intended meaning.
Basic Structure of Prepositional
Phrases
• A prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and ends
with the object of the preposition. The object is usually a
noun or a pronoun. For example, in the phrase “on the table,”
“on” is the preposition and “the table” is the object. These
phrases can act as adjectives or adverbs. For instance, “The
book on the table is mine” describes which book. In “She ran
across the field,” the phrase modifies the verb “ran.”
Recognizing these structures is key to mastering prepositional
usage in English.
Common Prepositions List (Part 1)
• Here is a list of commonly used prepositions: about, above,
across, after, against, along, among, around, at, before. These
prepositions are used in everyday English to indicate various
relationships. For example: "She walked across the street," or
"The book is before the meeting." Mastering the usage of
these prepositions will help you form accurate and
meaningful sentences. In upcoming slides, we will discuss how
to use each of these prepositions correctly with examples.
Common Prepositions List (Part 2)
• Continuing from the previous list, more common prepositions
include: behind, below, beneath, beside, between, beyond,
by, down, during, except. These are also very frequently used
in spoken and written English. For example: "He stood behind
the curtain," or "She fell down the stairs." Understanding
these words and their correct usage will allow you to describe
positions, timeframes, and comparisons clearly. We'll look at
more detailed examples and sentence constructions in the
next slides.
Types of Prepositions - Overview
• There are several categories of prepositions based on the
function they serve: prepositions of time, place, direction,
cause, manner, and instrument. Each type provides specific
information in a sentence. For example, “at,” “on,” and “in”
are prepositions of time and place. “To” and “into” indicate
direction. “By” and “with” show manner or instrument.
Understanding these categories will help you decide which
preposition is appropriate in different contexts. The next
several slides will go into detail for each type with examples.
Prepositions of Time - Introduction
• Prepositions of time are used to indicate when something
happens. Common prepositions of time include: at, on, in, by,
during, since, for, from...to, until. For example, “She arrived at
5 PM,” “We go shopping on Sundays,” and “He was born in
2001.” Notice how each preposition gives a different time
reference. Using the correct preposition ensures your
meaning is clear. In the next few slides, we’ll examine each of
these prepositions in detail, along with examples of their use.
Preposition of Time – At
• The preposition "at" is used to refer to specific times of the
day, festivals, and short holiday periods. Examples include:
“She arrives at 8 o’clock,” “The meeting is at noon,” and “We
visited them at Christmas.” It can also be used for specific
points in time: “at night,” “at the weekend” (British English).
It's important not to confuse "at" with "in" or "on"—we use
"at" for specific times, not for days or months. Mastery of “at”
helps make your time references precise.
Preposition of Time – On
• "On" is used with days and dates. For example: “The concert
is on Friday,” “Her birthday is on March 21st,” and “They met
on Christmas Day.” It is also used with specific parts of days:
“on Monday morning” or “on the evening of July 4th.” Avoid
using “on” with months or years; those require “in.” Knowing
when to use “on” helps in setting clear expectations and
organizing schedules. Always pair “on” with a specific day or
date.
Preposition of Time – In
• "In" is used with months, years, centuries, and long periods.
Examples: “She was born in July,” “We traveled in 2022,” and
“The castle was built in the 18th century.” It’s also used for
non-specific times during a day, month, season, or year, such
as “in the morning,” “in the summer,” or “in the past.” This
preposition helps describe events that happen within a larger
timeframe. Using “in” correctly gives your speech and writing
clarity about broader time periods.

Basic Structure of Prepositional
Phrases (Cont. 5)
• A prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and ends
with the object of the preposition. The object is usually a
noun or a pronoun. For example, in the phrase “on the table,”
“on” is the preposition and “the table” is the object. These
phrases can act as adjectives or adverbs. For instance, “The
book on the table is mine” describes which book. In “She ran
across the field,” the phrase modifies the verb “ran.”
Recognizing these structures is key to mastering prepositional
usage in English. This slide provides additional context and
extended examples to deepen your understanding of this
preposition.
Common Prepositions List (Part 1)
(Cont. 5)
• Here is a list of commonly used prepositions: about, above,
across, after, against, along, among, around, at, before. These
prepositions are used in everyday English to indicate various
relationships. For example: "She walked across the street," or
"The book is before the meeting." Mastering the usage of
these prepositions will help you form accurate and
meaningful sentences. In upcoming slides, we will discuss how
to use each of these prepositions correctly with examples.

Types of Prepositions - Overview
(Cont. 5)
• There are several categories of prepositions based on the
function they serve: prepositions of time, place, direction,
cause, manner, and instrument. Each type provides specific
information in a sentence. For example, “at,” “on,” and “in”
are prepositions of time and place. “To” and “into” indicate
direction. “By” and “with” show manner or instrument.
Understanding these categories will help you decide which
preposition is appropriate in different contexts. The next
several slides will go into detail for each type with examples.

Preposition of Time – At (Cont. 5)
• The preposition "at" is used to refer to specific times of the
day, festivals, and short holiday periods. Examples include:
“She arrives at 8 o’clock,” “The meeting is at noon,” and “We
visited them at Christmas.” It can also be used for specific
points in time: “at night,” “at the weekend” (British English).
It's important not to confuse "at" with "in" or "on"—we use
"at" for specific times, not for days or months. Mastery of “at”
helps make your time references precise. This slide provides
additional context and extended examples to deepen your
understanding of this preposition.
Preposition of Time – On (Cont. 5)
• "On" is used with days and dates. For example: “The concert
is on Friday,” “Her birthday is on March 21st,” and “They met
on Christmas Day.” It is also used with specific parts of days:
“on Monday morning” or “on the evening of July 4th.” Avoid
using “on” with months or years; those require “in.” Knowing
when to use “on” helps in setting clear expectations and
organizing schedules. Always pair “on” with a specific day or
date. This slide provides additional context and extended
examples to deepen your understanding of this preposition.
Preposition of Time – In (Cont. 6)
• "In" is used with months, years, centuries, and long periods.
Examples: “She was born in July,” “We traveled in 2022,” and
“The castle was built in the 18th century.” It’s also used for
non-specific times during a day, month, season, or year, such
as “in the morning,” “in the summer,” or “in the past.” This
preposition helps describe events that happen within a larger
timeframe. Using “in” correctly gives your speech and writing
clarity about broader time periods. This slide provides
additional context and extended examples to deepen your
understanding of this preposition.
What Are Prepositions? (Cont. 6)
• Prepositions are words that connect nouns or pronouns to
other words in a sentence. They describe relationships in
terms of time, place, direction, cause, manner, and
instrumentality. For example, in the sentence "The cat is
under the table," the word "under" shows the relationship
between the cat and the table. Prepositions are essential for
clarity in both written and spoken English. Throughout this
