Prepositions Exercises For Class 6 CBSE With Answers – English Grammar

1. A preposition is a word placed before a noun or a pronoun to show in what relation the person or thing denoted by it stands in regard to something else
(The word Preposition means ‘that which is placed before.’)
Examples:
The bird is in the cage.
He will meet me on Sunday in the evening.
His house is within municipal limits.
The cat jumped off the window.

2. A preposition is usually placed before its object, but sometimes it follows it; as:

What are you looking at?
What are you thinking of?

3. Preposition may be divided into the following categories:

(a) Simple Prepositions:
e.g. at, by, for, from, in, of, off, on, out, through, till, to, up, with.
(b) Compound Prepositions:
e.g. about, above, across, along, amidst, among, around, before, behind, below, beneath, beside, between, beyond, inside, outside, underneath within, without.
(c) Phrasal Prepositions:
These are groups of words used with the force of single preposition: e.g. according to; along with; away from; because of; by means of; by way of; for the sake of; with regard to; in accordance with; in addition to; on behalf of; in favour of; in order to; in place of; in spite of; instead of; on account of; owing to; with reference to etc.
