Prepositions 1
This Key Stage 1 quiz takes a look at Prepositions. This quiz introduces Year 2 students at KS1 to ‘in’ and ‘on’ as positions. The National Curriculum states that Year 3 pupils should know how to use prepositions correctly. This quiz is an introduction, for Year 2 pupils, to those words they will use most frequently. It will help their understanding of literacy and the English language.
A preposition is a word that tells us where something is - its position. We can say the cat is inside or on the cage. The prepositions here are ‘inside’ and ‘on’. Test your knowledge on prepositions.

1 .
Look at the picture, which sentence is correct?
The cars drove under the bridge.
The cars were by the bridge.
The cars drove above the bridge.
The cars were on the bridge.
The words 'under,' 'by' and 'above' are all prepositions, however, in these sentences they aren't quite right. The picture shows the cars on the bridge, not under it. They weren't by or beside the bridge as they were on it and they weren't above the bridge as this would suggest there is a gap between the bridge and the cars.
