The words “in, on, under, to, at, from, with, etc” are prepositions. For example, The cat's under the tree. My book's on the
table.
Some examples of prepositions are 'on, under, in, from, to, with, etc.' With an interrogative pronoun (what, where, what etc.)
the preposition (on, under, in, etc.) generally comes last in the sentence and not first, for example. We say 'What do we write
with?' and not 'With what do we write?'

Choose TRUE or FALSE.

1. The words “what, which, etc" are interrogative pronouns 4. An example of a preposition is: She's in her room.

True False True False

2. The words “in, on, under, etc." are prepositions. 5. With an interrogative pronoun, the preposition generally

Reading a Compass

You can use a compass in many different ways, from telling which way is north from South to finding a treasure. But, you've got
to take baby steps to know how it works. There are four cardinal points on a compass - North, South, East, and West. When
reading a compass, and telling other people directions, you need to erase "right" and "left" out of your vocabulary. 'Right' and
'Left' are relative directions and they are different when you move from one place into another, but the cardinal points are constant.
They don't move. They remain still in the compass. The direction halfway between North and East is an intercardinal point and its
name is NorthEast. The other three intercardinal points are SouthEast, SouthWest, and NorthWest.'

Complete the sentences with the right word.

The cardinal points are North, __________, East and West. The direction halfway between two cardinal points is an
_____________ point.
Choose TRUE or FALSE.

1. We use a compass to tell the time. 4. We need to remember where is right and left when using a
compass.
True False True False
2. With a compass, we can tell the difference between North 5.'Right' and 'Left' change when we move directions.
and South.
True False True False

3. There are twelve cardinal points on a compass 6. Cardinal points are constant.

True False True False
