showing the relationship between them. Prepositions usually answer the questions
where? or when?, telling about a person or objects location in either time or space.
Use one of the prepositions from the word bank in each of the blanks in the story
below. Prepositions can be used more than once, as long as they make sense where
you place them in the story.
