Prepositions of Time & Place
Prepositions of Time & Place
Remember, we talked about these prepositions being like a target, becoming more and
more precise
It is exactly the same if we are talking about places. We use the same prepositions,
becoming more and more precise with each one
As you can see, in the same way as the prepositions of time become more precise, going from in to on to at, so
too do the same prepositions when they are used to describe a place.
REMEMBER: with a verb of movement (go/walk/drive/ take the train/ travel etc) + a place we use the
preposition to. (I’m taking the plane TO Paris on Monday)
