Understanding Prepositions –
Definition: A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and
another word in the sentence. Prepositions often indicate place, direction, or time, but they can
also show cause, manner, or instrument.
Types of Prepositions:
•Prepositions of Place – describe the position of something:
in, on, under, behind, beside, next to, between, above, below
•Prepositions of Direction/Movement – show movement from one place to another:
into, onto, out of, over, under, toward, through, past, across•
•Prepositions of Time – indicate when something happens:
at, on, in, before, after, during, until, since
Other Common Prepositions:
about, for, with, without, by, of
Activity 1 – Speaking Task: Scene Description Challenge
Task Type: Individual Speaking
Instructions for Students:
You will receive a picture (e.g., a park, kitchen, classroom, or market).
Take 2–3 minutes to observe the image and write down your observations.
Prepare to describe the picture in 1–2 minutes using at least 5 prepositions.
Use prepositions of place or direction to describe where objects or people are located.
Speak clearly and in full sentences without reading directly from your notes.
Discussion:
This activity practices identifying and using prepositions of place and movement in a real-world
context.
Example:
"The dog is under the table."
"A boy is walking across the street."
Ask students to explain why certain prepositions were appropriate. Reinforce the idea that
prepositions help the listener visualize the scene, which is crucial in giving directions or
descriptions in English.
Objectives:
At the end of the lesson the students are expected to
•Construct coherent sentences using accurate prepositional phrases in a logical sequence.
•Cooperate actively and respectfully in group storytelling.
•Orally deliver sentences with appropriate expression, gesture, and fluency.Activity 2 – Group
Discussion:
This task promotes creativity and reinforces proper usage of prepositions of place, direction,
and time.
Discuss the effect of prepositions in storytelling. For instance, how does changing “on the table”
to “under the table” shift the meaning? Highlight how prepositions shape action and setting,
making narratives more engaging and clear.

Discussion
Importance of Prepositions
Prepositions are essential in English because they help us describe the relationship between
objects in terms of place, time, and direction. In everyday communication, using prepositions
correctly allows us to give clear instructions, explain locations, and understand others better.
This activity helps students practice prepositions in a fun and practical way, improving both their
speaking and listening skills while encouraging teamwork.
Pair Activity
Activity Title: “Preposition Partners: Describe and Locate”
Materials Needed:
A set of identical pictures with various objects placed in different locations (e.g., classroom
scene, park, living room)
A barrier (e.g., folder or book) to prevent partners from seeing each other’s papers
Prepared object list or a blank version for one student to draw on
Instructions:
Pair up students and assign them as Student A and Student B.
Student A receives a picture showing several objects in specific places.
Student B receives the same background image but without the objects.
Student A describes where each object is using clear prepositions of place or direction.
Example: “The pencil is on the desk, next to the lamp.”
As Student A gives instructions, Student B draws or places the objects on their blank image
based on the descriptions.
After all items have been described and drawn, students remove the barrier a
nd compare pictures.
Objectives
At the end of the lesson the students are expected to
•Identify and correctly use prepositions of place to describe the location of objects.
•Build confidence in sharing their work and communicating in front of the class.
•Organize and present visual and written materials effectively.
Discussion
Prepositions are vital in everyday language because they help us explain where things are in
relation to each other. Knowing how to use prepositions clearly improves our ability to give
directions, describe scenes, and communicate effectively. This assignment encourages students
to connect classroom learning with their real environment, making the use of prepositions more
practical and memorable. Presenting their work also helps build speaking skills and confidence.

importance of the prepositions on the activity
Assignment: Prepositions at Home
Find examples of objects at your home and describe their locations using prepositions.
Instructions:
Look around your home and find at least 5 objects placed in different locations.
For each object, write a sentence describing its position using a preposition. For example, "The
book is on the table."
Take a clear photo of each object showing its location.
Print the photos on a single sheet of A4 or bond paper and add description.
Bring your paper to class and present your examples to your classmates, explaining the
preposit
ions used.
Objectives:
At the end of the lesson the students are expected to:
•Compose a descriptive paragraph using correct and varied prepositions.
•Express enthusiasm in applying grammar skills in a creative written output.
•Write legibly and clearly, demonstrating organized thought and grammatical accuracy.
Discussion:
Emphasizes prepositions as essential to visual and situational clarity in writing. Discusses how
shifting one preposition can change meaning and impact reader understanding.
Understanding Prepositions
Definition:
A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another
word in a sentence. Prepositions often indicate place, direction, or time, but they can also
express cause, manner, or means. They help clarify the relationship between ideas and add
important details to communication.
Types of Prepositions:
• Prepositions of Place – describe the physical location or position of something:
in, on, under, behind, beside, next to, between, above, below
• Prepositions of Direction/Movement – indicate motion from one place to another:
into, onto, out of, over, under, toward, through, past, across
• Prepositions of Time – refer to when something happens:
at, on, in, before, after, during, until, since
Other Common Prepositions:
about, for, with, without, by, of, to, from, like, as, among, against, over, within, throughout
Activity 3 – Individual Writing Task: “Picture Prompt Paragraph”
Task Type: Descriptive Writing
Instructions:
Look at a detailed picture (e.g., a public park, a school event, or a street scene).
Write a paragraph (8–10 sentences) describing what you see.
Use at least 10 different prepositions in your paragraph.
Underline or highlight the prepositions used.
Focus on using a mix of prepositions of place, direction, and time.
Discussion:
This writing task helps students consciously apply prepositions in written descriptions.
Discuss how changing prepositions can shift meaning:
“The bird flew over the tree” vs. “The bird flew into the tree”
Encourage students to proofread their work and identify redundant or incorrect preposition
usage. Reinforce how precise prepositions improve both grammar and the clarity of writing.
Objectives:
At the end of the lesson the students are expected to:
•Detect and correct errors in preposition usage through contextual analysis.
•Demonstrate responsibility and cooperation in peer editing.
