2. PROBLEMS WITH PREPOSITIONS
• Prepositions are words or phrases that
clarify relationships.
• Prepositions are usually followed by
nouns and pronouns. Sometimes the
nouns are –ing form nouns.
• Prepositions are also used in idioms.
3. 1. Place – Between and Among
Remember that between and among
have the same meaning, but between is
used with two nouns and among is
used with three or more nouns or a
plural noun.
4. Examples:
between noun 1 noun 2
The work is distributed between the secretary and the receptionist
among noun 1 noun 2 noun 3
The rent payments are divided among Don, Bill, and Gene
Avoid using between with three or
more nouns or a plural noun.
5. 2. Place – In, On and At
Remember that in, on, and at have similar meanings, but they
are used with different kinds of places. In general, in is used
before large places; on is used before middle–sized places;
and at is used before numbers in addresses. Finally, in is used
again before very small places.
in COUNTRY on STREET at NUMBER in a corner
STATE STREET CORNER (of a room)

6. Example:

other middle-sized places.
