Prepositions are often used to give us more information about time, place and movement.

A preposition of place is used to refer to a place where something or someone is located. There are three main prepositions: in, on, at. They can be both prepositions of place and time.

PREPOSITION OF MOVEMENT

Do you come from Tokyo? He jumped out of the window. The cat jumped onto the roof. He went up the hill. He came down the mountain. He’s walking along the street.
