Prepositions are short words ( at, in, on) which are used to show position, location, direction, and time in English. This in-depth tutorial will take you from basic usage to advanced verb + preposition combinations. It includes dozens of preposition exercises as well as the answers to common preposition questions.

Basic Preposition Exercises

These exercises cover the content in the pages above. Make sure you know the preposition basics before moving on to the advanced exercises below.

Verbs + Prepositions

There are many verb + preposition combinations in English. Some English verbs take prepositions to show direction or position ( go up, go down, go in, etc.) These combinations are easy to learn.

But some verbs require prepositions to take objects ( depend on her, joke about him, laugh at them, etc.) These combinations are harder. The best way to learn them is by reading English books and speaking with native speakers. To help English learners, we have put together a great list of the most common verb + preposition combinations with example sentences.

Phrasal verbs

Some verbs can be followed by different prepositions. This can change the meaning of the verb. For example, turn, turn off, turn back and turn down all have very different meanings. These special verb + preposition combinations are called phrasal verbs, and they take time to learn.

Read through our phrasal verb page, which talks about different types of phrasal verbs and how they are used. There is also a phrasal verb dictionary with definitions and examples. Afterwards, test your knowledge with the exercises below. Practice makes perfect.

Verb + Preposition and Phrasal Verb Exercises

Prepositions are short words (on, in, to) that usually stand in front of nouns (sometimes also in front of gerund verbs).

Even advanced learners of English find prepositions difficult, as a 1:1 translation is usually not possible. One preposition in your native language might have several translations depending on the situation.

There are hardly any rules as to when to use which preposition. The only way to learn prepositions is looking them up in a dictionary, reading a lot in English ( literature) and learning useful phrases off by heart ( study tips).

The following table contains rules for some of the most frequently used prepositions in English:

Prepositions - Time

Prepositions - Place (Position and Direction)
