Description
I’ll never forget a brilliant student who still guessed between in, on, and at for time phrases. Most worksheets practice the easy stuff, but not the tricky, idiomatic usage. This worksheet is different—it helps learners move from guessing to knowing by tackling real patterns.
Why “Just Memorize the List” Doesn’t Work
Our worksheet uses the Pattern Recognition Method, grouping prepositions by function and partnerships:
- Time & Place: In = period (month, year), On = specific day, At = precise time.
- Action & Movement: To, toward, at, through, across.
- Verb + Preposition:
- Apologize for something / apologize to someone
- Depend on, agree with, agree to, worry about
- Adjective + Preposition:
- Good at, interested in, afraid of, famous for
