Let's solve each question in the
"Prepositions and Location" worksheet step by step. The goal is to choose the correct preposition from the box:
in, on, under, over, with, off, to, above, of, out, beside
We'll analyze each picture and sentence.

1) The slippers are ______ the bed.

3) The girl is ______ the bus.
-
Picture: The girl is standing outside the bus, not inside.
-
Position: She is near the bus, but not on or in it.
- However, “beside” would be accurate, but let’s check if "off" makes sense.
- But "off" usually means *away from* or *not on*, which could work, but
"beside" is more precise for location.
- Wait — the word
"beside" is already in the list, and it fits best here.
-
✔ Correct answer:
beside
>
Answer: beside
Wait! Let's double-check:
Actually, in this case, the girl is
next to the bus →
beside is correct.
But sometimes "beside" and "next to" are interchangeable.
✔ So:
beside
>
Answer: beside
---
4) The cat is ______ the chair.

on top of the chair.

5) The ball is ______ the bat.
-
Picture: The ball is hanging
below the bat, like a baseball hanging from it?
- Actually, looking closely: the ball is
under the bat.
- The bat is horizontal, and the ball is below it, touching it? Or just beneath?
In most such images, if the ball is directly below the bat, it's
under.

under
