Prepositions are little helper words that show us where something is, where it is going, or when it happens. Think of them as clues that connect words in a sentence! For example, in the sentence 'The cat is under the bed,' the word 'under' is a preposition because it tells us the cat's location.

What can a preposition tell you?
How can students find a preposition?
Look for a place, direction or time clue
Prepositions connect a noun or pronoun to another part of the sentence. In “The cat is under the bed,” under shows where the cat is. A preposition can also show direction or time.
Ask what relationship the word shows instead of memorizing a list. Continue with determiners for words before nouns or return to 1st grade grammar. You can also notice these relationships in a 1st grade reading passage.
