However, in this lesson, I will only focus on Preposition of Direction, Time and Place.
Preposition of Direction express movement toward something. It consists of to, onto and into.
- to = the goal or destination is physical.
- onto = the goal is a surface
- into = the goal is the inner part of things.
For example:

- Lina will be coming to my house.
- He leaped onto the table.
- The fish was washed up onto the the surface.
- Put your clothes into the basket.
- You will get into a big trouble if you do so.
Preposition of Time shows at what time will something occur. It consists of at, in and on.
- at = shows specific time.
- in = shows months, years, centuries, and a long period.
- on = shows dates and days.
For example:
- The show will start at 3.00pm today.
- I will be at the faculty at 8.00am.
- I was born in February.
- PC Fair will take place in June next year.
- Your submission date is on Friday.
- We wont be having classes on Saturday anymore.
Preposition of Place will be used when we want to show the location of things. It consists of at, in and on.
- at = to show exact location.
- in = to show enclosed space.
- on = to show the surface.
For example:
