Preposition of Place What is a preposition of place? A preposition of place is a preposition which is used to refer to a place where something or someone is located. Prepositions of place allow you to be very specific when talking about where action takes place in stories or when discussing important details for communication purposes. A chart contining pictures pointing out prepositions of place will be shown.

Examples of prepositions will be given along with their usage. In front of  A band plays their music in front of an audience.  The teacher stands in front of the students. Behind Behind is the opposite of In front of. It means at the back (part) of something.  When the teacher writes on the whiteboard, the students are behind him (or her).  Who is that person behind the mask? Between Between normally refers to something in the middle of two objects or things (or places).  The number 5 is between the number 4 and 6.  There is a sea (The English Channel) between England and France. Across From / Opposite Across from and Opposite mean the same thing. It usually refers to something being in front of something else BUT there is normally something between them like a street or table. It is similar to saying that someone (or a place) is on the other side of something.  I live across from a supermarket (= it is on the other side of the road)  The chess players sat opposite each other before they began their game. (= They are in front of each other and there is a table between them) Next to / Beside Next to and Beside mean the same thing. It usually refers to a thing (or person) that is at the side of another thing.

 At a wedding, the bride stands next to the groom.  Guards stand next to the entrance of the bank. Near / Close to Near and Close to mean the same thing. It is similar to next to / beside but there is more of a distance between the two things.  We couldn't park the car close to the store.  Our house is close to a supermarket. On On means that something is in a position that is physically touching, covering or attached to something.  The clock on the wall is slow.  He put the food on the table. Above / Over Above and Over have a similar meaning. The both mean "at a higher position than X" but above normally refers to being directly (vertically) above you.  Planes normally fly above the clouds.  We put a sun umbrella over the table so we wouldn't get so hot. Over can also mean: physically covering the surface of something and is often used with the word All as in All over.  There is water all over the floor. Over is often used as a Preposition of Movement too. Under / Below Under and Below have a similar meaning. They mean at a lower level. (Something is above it).  Your legs are under the table.  Miners work below the surface of the Earth.

Sometimes we use the word underneath instead of under and beneath instead of below. There is no difference in meaning those they are less common nowadays.
