Let's solve both parts of this worksheet step by step.

A) Use the correct preposition of place to complete the sentences.

(in, on, under, next to, in front of, behind, above, below)

We will analyze the image of the living room and determine the correct prepositions based on object positions.

1. The radio is _on_ the table.
✔ Correct – The radio is placed on top of the table.

2. The lamp is _next to_ the sofa.
✔ The floor lamp is beside the red sofa, so "next to" is correct.

3. The newspaper is _on_ the radio.
✔ The newspaper is lying on top of the radio (which is on the table).

4. The phone is _on_ the flowers.
✘ Wait – Actually, looking at the image: the phone is on the sideboard, not on the flowers. The flowers are in a vase on the sideboard too. But the phone is beside the flowers, not on them. So:
→ The phone is _next to_ the flowers.

5. The cushions are _on_ the sofa.
✔ Yes, the cushion is resting on the sofa.
