Prepositions of location

Prepositions of location are words that

are used to describe the place where a
certain object is at a certain time. For
you to achieve in identification of
prepositions of direction, then you
have to ensure that you answer the
question where.
Prepositions of Location

Two things can be next to each other.

For example, A is next to B in the alphabet.

One thing can be between (or in between) two

other things.
For example, B is between A and C in the
alphabet.

One thing can be near another.

For example, London is near Oxford.

The opposite of near is far from.

For example, Edinburgh, the capital of
Scotland, is far from London.

One thing can be opposite another thing. If

you are sitting face to face with another
person, then you are sitting opposite that
person.

If you are in a queue, someone can be behind

you (so you are before that person) and
someone can be in front of you (so you are
behind that person).
Prepositions of Location

One thing can be on another thing.

For example, my computer is on my
desk.

One thing can be under another

thing. For example, I have a
mousepad under my mouse.

Below means a lower level. In a

team B, team C and team d), team C

A are above Team B, and team B is

newspaper. On top of the newspaper
there is a book. On top of the book is
a cup of coffee.

At the top means that something is

located at the highest point. “We’re
pleased that she is at the top of her
class for English.”

At the bottom means that something

is located at the lowest point. “We’re
not pleased that she is at the bottom
of her class for Maths.”
