Prepositions and prepositional phrases
by Chenyun
Teaching aims:
Students are expected to review the usage of some common prepositions to express time, place and movement, as well as how to use them in different situations.
Students will also learn that prepositions can be combined with verbs, nouns and adjectives to form prepositional phrases and the ways to use them in various situations.
Students will apply what they have learnt to practice by fulfilling some written tasks.
Procedures
Step1. Lead-in
Help students to review what prepositions are and how they are used by asking them to complete a story.
Step2. Prepositions of time
Provide students with a passage and complete it with some prepositions and then ask students to make a conclusion—these prepositions are used to express time. Then explain the usage of these prepositions and do some related exercises.
Step3. Prepositions of place
