Let’s go through each sentence one by one and find the preposition.
A
preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun (or pronoun) and another word in the sentence — often showing location, direction, time, or connection.
We’ll circle the preposition in each:
1. “The ball is
under the table.” → *under* tells us where the ball is.
2. “My teacher is talking
to me.” → *to* shows who the teacher is talking to.
3. “The letter is
from my friend.” → *from* tells us where the letter came from.
4. “There is a tree
by the riverbank.” → *by* means near or next to.
5. “Please take
off your shoes.” → *off* is part of the phrasal verb “take off,” but it still functions as a preposition here (showing removal).
6. “Let’s watch television
after dinner.” → *after* tells us when we’ll watch TV.
7. “The book belongs
to Emily.” → *to* shows ownership/connection.
8. “Shall we have some ice-cream
before dinner?” → *before* tells us when we’ll eat ice cream.
9. “They were playing together
at the beach.” → *at* tells us where they played.
10. “Can you put the books
on the table?” → *on* tells us where to put the books.
✔ All these words are prepositions.

1. under
