Identifying Prepositions

In order to use prepositions correctly, it is often helpful for learners to identify them in what they read. This one-page worksheet will allow students to read ten sentences and underline the prepositions they see. Students can work independently or collaboratively on this handout. Ask students to review their work carefully before sharing with their partner or the whole class. Students should be encouraged to explain their choices. Don't forget that a little encouragement is likely to go a long way! Want more interesting worksheets to print? Check out these preposition printables!
