5 Preposition Worksheets for Place, Time and Movement

We use prepositions before pronouns and nouns to show their relationship. In general, the 3 types of prepositions are location/place, time and movement.

First, prepositions of place shows where an object is located.
Second, prepositions of time describes when something occurs.
Finally, prepositions of movement relates the direction between two things.

For example, the ball is on the chair. In this sentence, the word “on” is a preposition of place because it describes where the ball is.

If you want to practice these concepts, we have 5 preposition worksheets to help you get started. For all our worksheets, they are 100% free to use in a classroom or for educational purposes.
