Step-by-step solution for: Grade 3 Grammar Topic 17: Prepositions Worksheets - Lets Share ...
Let's solve each sentence by choosing the correct preposition and explaining why it fits best.
---
Options: after, about, around, under
✔ Correct answer: about
Explanation: The phrase "think about" is a common collocation in English. We say "What did you think about the concert?" to ask for someone’s opinion.
👉 So, the sentence becomes: *What did you think about the concert?*
---
Options: onto, toward, inside, under
✔ Correct answer: inside
Explanation: Shoes are worn *inside* the feet (or more accurately, over the feet, but "fit inside" is the correct expression when talking about how well they accommodate the foot). "Fit inside" means they are large enough to hold the foot.
👉 *Her shoes barely fit inside her feet.*
> Note: "onto" might seem tempting, but "fit onto" doesn't make sense here. "Toward" and "under" don’t fit grammatically or logically.
---
Options: onto, after, before, until
✔ Correct answer: until
Explanation: "Can't wait until" is a standard phrase meaning "I am eager for something to happen."
👉 *I can't wait until the movie starts!*
(Note: "before" could be used, but “can’t wait before” is not idiomatic. “Until” is the correct choice.)
---
Options: before, during, after, until
✔ Correct answer: after
Explanation: You mix ingredients first, then bake them. So baking comes *after* mixing.
👉 *She baked the cookies after she mixed them.*
> "Before" would reverse the logic; "during" implies both actions happened at the same time, which isn't accurate; "until" doesn't make sense here.
---
Options: after, beneath, round, across
✔ Correct answer: beneath
Explanation: "Beneath" means below or under something. If your phone fell under the desk, "beneath" is the most precise word.
👉 *My phone fell beneath my desk.*
> "Across" might suggest movement from one side to another, but not necessarily falling. "Round" doesn't fit. "After" is a time word, not a spatial one.
---
Options: despite, beneath, except, since
✔ Correct answer: despite
Explanation: "Despite" is used to show contrast — even though she was ill, she still ran.
👉 *Despite feeling ill, Mary ran in her track meet.*
> "Beneath" and "except" don't work in this context. "Since" would imply cause, like "because she felt ill," which contradicts the meaning.
---
Options: between, onto, across, behind
✔ Correct answer: across
Explanation: "Across the street" is a common phrase meaning on the opposite side of the street.
👉 *The train station is across the street.*
> "Between" would mean in the middle of two things, which isn't likely unless there are two streets. "Onto" and "behind" don’t fit geographically.
