Prepositions are short but powerful words that act as connectors. They link nouns, pronouns, or phrases to other parts of a sentence, usually to show direction, time, place, or location.

Without prepositions, sentences would be a confusing jumble of words. For example, "The keys are the table" doesn't make sense until you add the preposition: "The keys are on the table."Here is a simple practice worksheet designed to help you master the differences between At, On, and In.

  4. It gets quite cold here _________ night.

  5. I was born _________ 1962.
