Prepositions of place
http://www.teachingideas.co.uk/prepositions/index.htm
This is a very useful site which provides practice in using prepositions of place. It would be worth doing this in class as there isn’t an online marking scheme so students won’t necessarily know whether their answers are correct. Many of the exercises could be adapted for use in class with teacher input.
