Enhancing Your Writing Style
The Right Prepositions
What Are Prepositions?
 Prepositions are special words that show the relationship between other words in
a sentence.
 They help us understand where something is, when something happens, or how
things are connected.
 Think of them as the glue that holds your sentences together.
Common Prepositions
Some of the most common prepositions.
In
On
Under
Between
Behind
Above
Across
Through
Beside
With
How Do Prepositions Work?
 Prepositions usually come before a noun (a person, place, thing, or idea) or a pronoun (a word th
at replaces a noun).
 They tell us more about the noun or pronoun by describing its location, direction, or relationship
with something else.
 For example, let's look at the sentence, "The cat is on the table." In this sentence:
"The cat" is the noun.
"Is" is the verb.
"On" is the preposition.
"The table" is another noun.
 The preposition "on" tells us where the cat is (the table). So, prepositions help us create clear
pictures in our minds when we read or write.
Using Prepositions in Your Writing
1. Paint Vivid Pictures
 Prepositions help you paint vivid pictures with your words.
 Instead of saying, "I saw a bird," you can say, "I saw a beautiful bird in the bright blue sky."
 By adding the preposition "in," you've given us a clear image of where the bird was.
2. Show Relationships
 Prepositions also help you show how things are related to each other.
 For example, "The book is under the bed."
 Here, the preposition "under" tells us the book's location in relation to the bed.
3. Add Details
 You can use prepositions to add more details to your writing.
 For example, instead of saying, "She ran," you can say, "She ran with excitement."
 By adding the preposition "with," you've given us more information about how she ran.
4. Make Stories Come Alive
 Prepositions are like magic wands that make your stories come alive.
 For example, "The pirate sailed across the vast ocean to find the hidden treasure."
 The preposition "across" makes us feel like we're on that adventurous journey with the pirate.
Common Preposition Mistakes to Avoid
Don't End Sentences with Prepositions
 It's generally a good idea not to end sentences with prepositions.
 Instead of saying, "Where is my toy at?"
 You should say, "Where is my toy?" or "Where did I put my toy?"
Choose the Right Preposition
 Sometimes, choosing the correct preposition can be a bit tricky.
 For example, "I'm going to the park with my friends"
 Choosing the right preposition makes a big difference in your writing.
