Grammar - prepositions of place

practising prepositions of place

LESSON OVERVIEW

The main objectives of this lesson are to:

  • revise vocabulary for common things around the house;
  • engage in practising prepositions of place in various contexts;
  • discuss where objects are.

In this worksheet, students review common home items (e.g. shelf, shoes, water), practise their listening skills through recordings and talk about the objects in their home. They work with prepositions of place (e.g. next to, on, behind), create sentences and discuss them in pairs. Students also guess objects, play a hot-or-cold game and talk about photos.

WHAT IS WHERE?

In this activity, students guess where objects in pictures (e.g. book, jacket, keys) might go in sentences (e.g. The jacket is in the bag.). They then listen to recordings and check their ideas. Afterwards, students look at some objects again and say where they usually are in their homes.

USE THE CORRECT PREPOSITION

Students look at pairs of words and prepositions (e.g. sofa, room AND in, next to). They engage in practising prepositions of place by writing sentences using the correct ones (e.g. The sofa is in the room.). Students then write a sentence with the preposition they didn’t choose and one of the words from the pair.

GUESS MY OBJECT

In this task, students work in pairs. Student A chooses an item (e.g. cat, dress, plant) and says where it is, using a preposition. Student B says which object Student A is talking about. They then switch roles and continue until each of them chooses five objects

HOT AND COLD

In pairs, each student gets a card with some objects and their locations. Their partner knows the missing information, and their task is to guess it. Their partner helps them by using cold, warm, and hot clues

REMEMBERING THE DETAILS

Students get a photo of a room. They look at it for one minute and try to remember as many details as possible. Then, students stop looking at the photo and get a different one. They name five differences while practising prepositions of place.
