Let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the correct preposition of place based on what we see in the picture.
We are looking for words like:
-
on (something is touching the top surface)
-
in (something is inside a container or enclosed space)
-
under (below something)
-
next to / beside (at the side of something)
-
behind (at the back of something)
-
above (higher than, but not touching)
-
outside (not inside)
---
1.
The plant is ______ the table.
→ The plant pot is sitting on top of the table →
on
2.
The hamster is ______ the cage.
→ The hamster is inside the birdcage →
in
3.
The cat is ______ the crate.
→ The cat is peeking out from inside the wooden crate →
in
4.
The cat is ______ the sofa.
→ The cat is lying on top of the red sofa →
on
5.
The dog is ______ the blanket.
→ The dog is lying on top of the checkered blanket →
on
6.
The tree is ______ the fence.
→ The tree is growing behind the wooden fence →
behind
7.
The money is ______ the wallet.
→ Money is tucked inside the open wallet →
in
8.
The ladder is ______ the house.
→ The ladder is leaning against the side of the house →
next to (or “beside” — both work; “next to” is more common for kids)
9.
The bird is ______ the cage. (first one — bird outside)
→ The bluebird is standing on the ground next to the cage →
outside or
next to? But since it’s clearly not inside, and there’s another version with the bird *on* the cage, this one should be
outside or
beside. Looking at context, “outside” fits best here because the other shows “on”. Let’s say
outside.
Wait — actually, looking again:
First bird image: bird is on the floor beside the cage →
next to
Second bird image: bird is perched ON TOP of the cage →
on
But let’s match standard usage:
Actually, better to use:
- First bird:
outside the cage (since it’s not inside)
- Second bird:
on the cage
But some might argue “next to” for first. However, “outside” contrasts nicely with “in” used earlier for hamster/cat/money.
Let’s stick with:
→ First bird:
outside
→ Second bird:
on
10.
The bin is ______ the door.
→ The trash bin is placed beside the purple door →
next to
11.
The baby is ______ the cot.
→ The baby is crawling on the floor in front of the cot →
in front of? Wait — no, look: the baby is ON THE FLOOR, and the cot is behind him. So he is
in front of the cot? Or maybe
beside?
Actually, looking carefully: the baby is on the floor, and the cot is right behind him — so he is
in front of the cot.
BUT — wait! There’s also a piglet INSIDE the cot. And the baby is OUTSIDE, on the floor.
So:
The baby is ______ the cot. → He is not in it, not on it — he’s on the floor near it. Most accurate:
in front of or
beside.
However, in many such worksheets, if the child is on the floor and the cot is behind, they often accept
in front of.
But let’s check all answers together for consistency.
Actually, re-examining: In the last row, left side: bin next to door →
next to
Right side: baby on floor, cot behind →
in front of
Yes.
Now let’s list them all cleanly:
---
Final check:
1. Plant → on the table
✔
2. Hamster → in the cage
✔
3. Cat → in the crate
✔
4. Cat → on the sofa
✔
5. Dog → on the blanket
✔
6. Tree → behind the fence
✔
7. Money → in the wallet
✔
8. Ladder → next to the house

9. Bird (outside) → outside the cage
✔
10. Bird (on top) → on the cage
✔
11. Bin → next to the door
✔
12. Baby → in front of the cot
✔
