RIC-20234 Primary Grammar and Word Study Year 3 – Parts of Speech

Prepositions
Prepositions are words that can show the connection between
things in sentences. They are usually short words in front of
nouns or pronouns; for example: ‘That day, during practice, the
basketball rolled towards the door, out of the gym and down
the hill, finally stopping among rocks under a tree’.
1. Circle the prepositions. The nouns and pronouns connected with them have been
highlighted.
Hi Ruby!
It’s awesome here at the Alpine Hotel. It’s
halfway up a mountain, between a river
and the ski slopes. The mountains are
sprinkled with tall pine trees and snow.
On the mountain, behind the hotel, is a
forest. It’s beautiful, but I haven’t been
near it … it looks dark and scary! I’d
like to catch the cable car to the top of the
mountain. Below the hotel, down the hill
a bit, is a little town with a cafe that sells
the best hot chocolate.
See you soon, Annabel xxoo
2. Use the description to draw the scene on the front of the postcard.
Greetings from
the Alpine Hotel!
