PrepositionsA preposition is a word that helps to link nouns

and pronouns to other words in a sentence. It usually tells the position of a noun or pronoun. A preposition also tells about time and place. Some prepositions are as follow:

inonatafter beforebetween

Prepositions also tell about place. For example:

Some other examples: 

The dog and cat are on the sofa.

The bird is in the cage.

Prepositions also tell about time. For example:

We reach school at half past 10.

It’s hot in the afternoon.

Some other examples:

We use preposition in with months and years. For example:

She was born in 1979.

My brother will return in February.

We use preposition on with days of a week and special days.

There is a public holiday on Wednesday.

All the shops will be close on New Year’s Day.

Teacher will assess the students through worksheets.

Assessment

Conclusion • 21st century teaching approaches would help my students to acquire higher level of thing and to gain a better knowledge of subject.
