English prepositions are perhaps one of the most difficult points of the English language for those
who want to acquire a thorough knowledge of the language. Very often English prepositions do not
correspond to their homologues in other languages.

• I am waiting for Peter.
• Estoy esperando a Pedro.

In other cases, there may be a preposition in one language where there is no preposition in the other
language.

• I saw James last night.
• Vi a Jaime ayer noche.

With the Guide to Prepositions and Using Prepositions we provide students and professionals with
a practical tool to help them in their work.

How to use this book

The book Using Prepositions is an exercise book to complement Guide to Prepositions. We find that,
very often, prepositions in English do not correspond to the Spanish ones. Therefore, students find it
very difficult to know exactly which preposition to use in a given sentence. In this book students will
find hundreds of exercises to help them master the difficult art of using prepositions. The most
confusing ones have been grouped together in the first part of the book and their differences
explained with examples. In the second part all the exercises have been mixed together. The student
must find which preposition to use with only the context of the sentence as a guide.
