Writing with prepositions worksheets | Worsheets library - Free Printable

Let's solve the worksheet step by step. The task is to fill in the blanks using prepositions from the word bank:
by, from, to, with, in, of, for, out, on, off

We'll go through each sentence and determine the correct preposition based on meaning and grammar.

---

1. I went ___to___ the store ___with___ my family.

✔ Correct: to, with
- "Went to the store" → direction (preposition to)
- "With my family" → company (preposition with)

---

2. Can you buy me a gift ___for___ my birthday please?

✔ Correct: for
- "For my birthday" → purpose or occasion (preposition for)

---

3. We have always lived ___in___ a lot of pets.

✘ This sentence seems incorrect as written.
But if it's meant to be:
> "We have always lived with a lot of pets."
Then the answer is with — indicating coexistence.
But "lived in a lot of pets" doesn't make sense.
So likely typo: We have always lived *with* a lot of pets.
✔ Answer: with

---

4. My mom was mad because I left all ___of___ my clothes ___on___ the floor.

✔ Correct: of, on
- "All of my clothes" → partitive phrase (all of)
- "On the floor" → location (preposition on)

---

5. Did you want to stop ___in___ Tennessee when we drive ___to___ Florida?

✔ Correct: in, to
- "Stop in Tennessee" → location (inside a place)
- "Drive to Florida" → direction

---

6. My grandma is originally ___from___ Russia.

✔ Correct: from
- "From Russia" → origin (preposition from)

---

7. I like to spend time ___in___ my room.

✔ Correct: in
- "In my room" → location inside a space

---

8. We got a new car ___for___ my big brother.

✔ Correct: for
- "For my big brother" → recipient (purpose or beneficiary)

---

9. My family went ___out___ the door.

✔ Correct: out
- "Went out the door" → direction (exit), though sometimes "out of" is used. But here, “out the door” is idiomatic and acceptable.
However, more grammatically complete would be out of the door. But since "out" is in the word bank, and "of" is also available, let’s consider both:

But the phrase "went out the door" is common in informal English. However, "went out of the door" is more grammatically precise.

But since "out" is in the word bank and the blank is single, likely intended as:
✔ out
(Though some might argue for out of, but only one blank.)

Wait — the sentence says:
> My family went ___ the door.
Only one blank.

So possible answers:
- "went out the door" → idiomatic (but less formal)
- "went through" — not in word bank
- "went into" — no
- "went to" — doesn’t fit
Best fit: out — as in "go out the door"

✔ So: out

✔ Correct: to, for, with
- "Went to France" → destination
- "for his vacation" → reason/purpose
- "with his friends" → companionship

---

✔ Final Answers:

1. to, with
2. for
3. with *(assuming typo in sentence)*
4. of, on
5. in, to
6. from
7. in
8. for
9. out
10. to, for, with
