Prepositions
Let's explore prepositions in this KS2 English quiz! Prepositions are special words that link other words together. They're super important because they help words make sense. Prepositions come before nouns (or pronouns) to show how they relate to other words. In the sentence 'I gave the medal to the best runner', 'to' is the preposition explaining the link between 'the runner' and 'the medal'. Prepositions also talk about time (like 'after' and 'before') and place (like 'behind' and 'below').
These little words might be sneaky, but they do a big job in making sentences work. Test your preposition skills with this cool quiz!
