Let’s go through each sentence one by one and find the preposition. A preposition is a word that shows where, when, or how something happens — like “in,” “on,” “under,” “before,” etc.
We’ll circle (or list) the preposition in each sentence:
1. We went
around the shop to start our cruise.
→ Preposition:
around
2. He will walk
around my friends to get to the open door.
→ Preposition:

9. It was fun to hang out
