Topic: Prepositions (place) - II
Answers
- She is going inside the house. [inside : used when we refer to an enclosure / in : area]
- The bridge is on the river. [on : surface / over : surface + movement]
- She saw someone outside the window. [outside : the open / out : beyond]
- She looked at the sky above the earth. [above : on top of or higher than]
- Besides CAT I am also taking XAT and FMS. [beside : next to/besides : apart from]
Through this quiz I have tried to explain the difference among the most commonly misused prepositions indicating the relation between two nouns in terms of place.A quick glance at a few more:
- between (for relating two objects) / among (used for relating more than two objects)
- on : indicates a surface [hence used with road,the earth etc]
- in : area [hence used with city,country,world etc]
- at : specific place [The luggage is at the door.]
- up : From a lower to or toward a higher point on
- above : on top of or higher than
- inside : used to when we refer to enclosure
- beside : next to
- besides : apart from
- out : beyond
- outside : the open
Many students have asked me to increase the number of sentences in the quizzes.To know your opinion I have added one question on the same in the quiz.
Do let me know what you guys feel about increasing the number of sentences for practice especially in the quizzes based on grammar.
Looking forward to your comments :)
Adieu !!!
it is really interesting to know or practice more about basics of verbal. it will be definitely useful for me.
ReplyDeleteyou missed "over"
ReplyDeleteWhy are these wrong?
1)"The bridge over the river."
2)She looked at the sky over the earth"
As per dictionary, "over" means "above or higher than something else "
"She held the umbrella over both of us. "
10 questions from next quiz :D
