INTRODUCTION
The objective of our paper is to have a better
understanding of prepositions.
Prepositions are vital as they work to connect
various parts of a sentence.
Prepositions are words or phrases used before a
noun, pronoun, or noun phrase to convey
direction, time, place, location, spatial
relationships, or to introduce an object.
Prepositions include the terms "in," "at," "on,"
"of," and "to."

3. English Language of Malaysian
School Students (EMAS) corpus
Compilation of students’ written
texts to cumulate data about
the English language
proficiency of Malaysian
students.
Obtained from 2002, from three
different states in Malaysia
(Penang, Pahang and Melaka)
Focusing on 3 categories of age
levels (year five, form one and
form four)
A picture stimulus which
consisted of five pictures
that were placed
chronologically.
A question mark was placed
at the end so that students
could create their own
interpretation on how the
story would end.
Look for the mistakes

Read each one and identify
whether the usage of
prepositions actually fits

4. RESULTS AND FINDING

5. Discussing a lesson as a class
certainly boosts students’ interest and
engagement. Aside from helping
them stay focused, it allows them to
think deeply, create connections, and
get different perspectives on the
subject matter.
SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
As the future teacher, it is very
recommended to analyse
students’ common mistakes and
focus on how those mistakes can
be avoided. Teachers also need to
have a guideline on how those can
be successfully taught in the
classroom.
Based on the results and findings
of this paper, one of the effective
ways for students to start getting
familiar with prepositions is
through reading.
Listening is another effective
method for familiarising students
with target prepositions.
