- Have you ever described where something is?
Then you've used prepositions of place.
Prepositions of place are how we know if something is under, over, or next to us.
To practice prepositions, grab some glasses and erasers.
Label each glass with a relationship the eraser could have to it.
- [Teacher] Can you place it beside the cup?
Good job.
- [Instructor] Go from glass to glass, and have your child place the eraser in the correct spot.
(both laughing) - What was that?
- Bravo.
Good job.
- You're gonna be a preposition pro.
