I know this really does not help. but when i was in seventh grade we had to memorize them all and repeat them back in front of the teacher as fast as we could....till this day I know most of them....I would type out the whole list and then just start repeating them outloud...even more them to the beat of your favorite song if that helps.

I would start with five, and then add two, repeat those seven about 100 times....and just slowly keep adding more to the list. Do not try and remember all at once...start with the As and then move on from there. Good luck....

We just did them in order....A-Z..that way you knew you got them all.

With the exceptions of prepositions like: during, among, etc.
The easiest way to remember prepositions is a hint my jr. high teacher used: A squirrel and a log. It can be on, off, in, out, with, above, below, . . . and the list goes on, try it!

The easiest is to use the word itself:

PrePOSITION - these are the words that indicate where (or when) an action took place.

There's also a song (sing to the tune of Yankee Doddle):

about
above
across
after
along
among
around
at

before
beside
between against
within
without
beneath
through

during
under
in
into
over
of
off
to
toward

up
on
near
for
from
except

by
with
behind
below
down.
