prepositions — words that show the relationship between a noun (or pronoun) and other parts of the sentence, often indicating location or direction.
The task is:
“Read and choose” — for each preposition listed on the left, you must select the picture on the right that correctly illustrates its meaning.
Let’s go row by row and explain the correct choice:
---
🔹
1. “under”
> *Meaning:* Below something; covered or hidden by something above.
✔ Correct image:
The teddy bear is under the open box (middle image in the first row).
→ The box is open and flipped upside down, with the bear sitting beneath it. This clearly shows “under.”
✘ Other images:
- Left: Bear is next to a closed box → not under.
- Right: Bear is beside a closed box → not under.
---
🔹
2. “behind”
> *Meaning:* At the back of something; not visible from the front.
✔ Correct image:
The teddy bear is behind the closed box (left image in the second row).
→ The box is in front, and the bear is partially hidden behind it.
✘ Other images:
- Middle: Bear is in front of the box → not behind.
- Right: Bear is on top of the box → not behind.
---
🔹
3. “in”
> *Meaning:* Inside something; enclosed within.
✔ Correct image:
The teddy bear is inside the open box (left image in the third row).
→ The box is open, and the bear is clearly sitting inside it.
✘ Other images:
- Middle: Bear is next to a closed box → not in.
- Right: Bear is sitting on top of the box → not in.
---
🔹
4. “in front of”
> *Meaning:* Located ahead of something; facing it.
✔ Correct image:
The teddy bear is in front of the box (left image in the fourth row).
→ The bear is positioned directly in front of the box, facing it.
✘ Other images:
- Middle: Bear is between two boxes → not clearly “in front of” one.
- Right: Bear is behind the box → opposite of “in front of.”
---
🔹
5. “on”
> *Meaning:* Resting or supported by a surface.
✔ Correct image:
The teddy bear is sitting on top of the box (middle image in the last row).
→ The bear is clearly placed on the flat top surface of the box.
✘ Other images:
- Left: Bear is floating above the box → not touching, so not “on.”
- Right: Bear is beside the box → not on.
---

Teaching Tip: You can reinforce this by having the child act out the prepositions using toys and boxes — e.g., “Put the bear UNDER the box,” “Put the bear ON the box,” etc. Kinesthetic learning helps cement understanding!
