(2) As the teacher said, prepositions are super important. Some books say that prepositions are the "glue" of English. They connect all the parts.
(a) Here is a little story that I have made up. Can you fill the blanks with the correct preposition?
I come __in__ usingenglish.com because it is the best helpline _on___ the World Wide
Web. The teachers are all native speakers _of__ English. I usually visit this website
__in_ the morning, but occasionally I even visit it _at___ night. The teachers are very
intelligent and kind, and they are very patient -- no matter what kind _of__ question
we ask. It is impossible to speak English correctly __without__an understanding of
prepositions.
My answers: to; on; of; in; at; of; without.
