what is an easy way to memorize the prepositions?

Question

i have a test tomorrow on all of them, and its eaither a 0 or a 100 so i need a quick way to learn them all

Answer 1

Group them by a common letter and remember how many are in each group.
Letter O: Of, on, onto, from,
Letter A: about, at, around, etc.
Letter I: In, into,
B: Behind, before

OR Draw a diagram of your home and picture each preposition as a clue to the treasure in your home. Then start walking through the house pointing and saying...
Behind the fridge, beside the calendar, above the door, into the hallway, ...keep this in order so when you are at school you can picture yourself walking the same route and write them down that way.

Answer 2

Ok, a good way to remember them is look and see if you can say "___ the log" Under the log For the log About the log Above to For Through... The list goes on\ If the word fits into the blank in that phrase, and it's not a verb, it's probably a preposition. This doesn't work for some weird prepositions... but it's a good way to remember

Answer 3

How do you learn best? For some people it helps to try to think of witty sayings stories that incorporate them. For other people it is simply best to go over the list again and again and memorize them that way. When I had to memorize them in high school, my friend made up a nonsense poem using all the prepositions and we memorized that. Information seems to sink in better if you study often, but for short periods of time, rather than for hours at a time. Look over them for ten or fifteen minutes and then put it down for a while and do something else. Come back a half hour later and do the same, and keep doing that until you are confident you know them all.

Answer 4

Anywhere a mouse can go, a preposition can go - example
in, into, out, behind, under, to, from, over, etc.

But some prepositions don't work like that - example
except, since, during, about.

All prepositions need an object noun, so that's really the only rule that fits all prepositions. Under the rock, during the movie, etc.
"up" can be a preposition or an adverb. But if "up" has a noun with it, it's a preposition. example - the squirrel ran UP the TREE.

"The girl looked UP" doesn't have an object noun, so UP is not a preposition in this case.

Answer 5

There are thousands of prepositions.
BUT there is one phrase my teacher taught me that handles all of them.

_______ the car.

Some that would fit are:

in the car
between the car
outside the car

Good luck
hope I get best answer

Answer 6

I was taught (many years ago!) to relate words with a box. For example, "in" the box, "under" the box, "behind" the box, and so forth. That's how I remember them... hope it works for you!
