Prepositions


Often it is the smallest things that cause you difficulty when you are trying to write a grammatically perfect sentence (as you will need to do in the Promotion exam). Usually one of the smallest words in a sentence is a preposition (in, by, with, to, for) and often you can get these wrong.


It is all about practice. By using the verb+preposition over and over again, your brain will come to associate the two together and then you will start getting them correct automatically (like 'listen to')


There is ONE INCORRECT preposition in each of the ten sentences. Correct the sentences using the CORRECT preposition.
