verb, preposition, adjective and interjection). Many prepositions are confusing because not many teachers
give focus on them.

you the prepositions at, in and on.
They say these prepositions are the
most difficult, but do not be afraid.
You will surely learn how to use them correctly through

Francis Macomber had, half an hour before, been carried to his tent from the edge of the camp in triumph on the arms and shoulders of the cook, the personal boys, the skinner and the porters. The gun-bearers had taken on part in the demonstration. When the native boys put him down at the door of his tent, he had shaken all their hands, receive their congratulations, and then gone into the tent and sat on the bed until his wife came in the tent. She did not speak to him when she came in the tent and he left the tent at once to wash his face and hands in the portable wash basin outside and go over to the dining tent to sit in a comfortable canvas chair in the breeze and the shade.

GOOD JOB!
I am sure you are now better. I hope you’re not
afraid of prepositions anymore.
For the last time, let’s review the lesson.
REVIEW:
• Preposition is placed before a noun or a pronoun in the sentence to show relationship.
• The combination of preposition with noun or pronoun is called prepositional phrase.
• The prepositions at, in, and on are all used in time, place and location.
For TIME…• at is specific, on is one day, while in is longer than
one day.
For PLACE…• at is used in specific place & address, on is for
streets, roads, avenues, etc., while in is for wider places such as towns, cities, countries & continents.
Finally, for POSITION…• at means by, beside, or near, on means in contact
with the surface, while in means inside or within.
Before you go, I’d like to leave you something to do for the last time.
Homework:Look for previous notes and sentences you
have written in your notebook, diary, quizzes, essays tests, etc.
Check the prepositions at, in, and on that you used and
correct them yourself.Don’t forget: While
you’re doing it, HAVE FUN but BE SERIOUS.
