Step-by-step solution for: Prepositions of place-1ESO worksheet
Let me carefully examine the image to solve the preposition task.
First, I need to identify where each item is located in the room based on the picture:
1. Pizza and the box: Looking at the image, there's a pizza box on the coffee table, and inside the box (which is open), there's pizza. So the pizza is *in* the box.
2. Guitar, lamp, and plant: The guitar is leaning against the wall, next to the lamp and a potted plant — all three are side by side on the floor. So the guitar is *next to* the lamp and the plant.
3. Two dogs and the table: The two dogs are sitting on the rug, directly under the coffee table. So they are *under* the table.
4. Window and sofa: The window is behind the red sofa (the sofa faces forward, the window is in the wall behind it). So the window is *behind* the sofa.
5. Rug and sofa: The rug is on the floor, and the sofa sits on top of it. So the rug is *under* the sofa — but the sentence says "There is a rug ___ the sofa", meaning the rug’s position relative to the sofa. Since the rug is beneath the sofa, the correct preposition is *under*.
Wait — let me double-check: In English, when we say “There is a rug ___ the sofa”, and the rug is underneath the sofa, we say *under*. Yes.
6. Racket and bag: On the floor to the right, there’s a green backpack and a red tennis racket leaning against it. The racket is *next to* the bag — or possibly *in front of*? Looking closely: the bag is upright, the racket leans against it, with the head near the bag and handle on the floor — so it's *next to* (not inside, not over, not under). But let’s confirm all options: behind, next to, in front of, over, in, on, between, under. “Next to” fits best.
7. Cheese and plate: There’s a plate on the table with a slice of cheese on it. So the cheese is *on* the plate.
8. Lamp and shelf: There’s a shelf on the left wall with books and a trophy. Below it, on the floor, is a tall lamp. So the lamp is *under* the shelf.
9. Trophy and books: On the shelf, the trophy is placed among the books — specifically, between two books (a blue one and a red one). So *between* the books.
10. Picture and wall: A framed picture (sun/beach) is hanging *on* the wall.
11. Bird and trees: Outside the window, a bird is flying — and there are green trees visible. The bird is in the air, above the trees, but the phrase is “flying ___ the trees”. Since it’s in the sky *over* the trees (not behind, not under), the correct preposition is *over*.
12. Two fish and bowl: There’s a fishbowl on the TV stand with two orange fish inside. So the fish are *in* the bowl.
Now let’s list all answers clearly:
1. in
2. next to
3. under
4. behind
5. under
6. next to
7. on
8. under
9. between
10. on
11. over
12. in
Let me verify #5 again: “There is a rug ___ the sofa.” The rug is beneath the sofa → *under* is correct. Yes.
#6: racket and bag — they’re side by side on the floor; racket is not inside the bag, not over it — *next to* is correct.
All match the preposition box options.
Final Answer:
1. in
2. next to
3. under
4. behind
5. under
6. next to
7. on
8. under
9. between
10. on
