Test: Prepositions - 1 - Class 7 MCQ

Prepositions are put before nouns and here there are three of them

The prepositions in the given sentence are "in" and "for".
Explanation:
- Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence.
- In the given sentence, the preposition "in" shows the relationship between the noun "book" and the noun "library".
- The preposition "for" shows the relationship between the noun "homework" and the noun "book".
- Therefore, the correct answer is B: "from, for".
Summary:
The prepositions in the sentence are "in" and "for".

The prepositions in the sentence are: "written by," "in the," and "for you to."
Explanation:
To find the prepositions in the sentence, we need to identify the words that show the relationship between other words in the sentence.
1. "Written by" - This phrase shows the relationship between the verb "written" and the author "J Smith." The preposition here is "by."
2. "In the" - This phrase shows the relationship between the noun "library" and the location of the book. The preposition here is "in."
3. "For you to" - This phrase shows the purpose of the book being in the library. The preposition here is "for."
Therefore, the correct answer is option A: by, from, for.

The preposition 'from' is put before the noun 'library'

The preposition 'to' is put before the pronoun 'their'

Prepositions in the sentence:
- The preposition in the given sentence is "for".
- The preposition "for" shows the relationship between the flowers and the mother in terms of the surprise.
Explanation:
- Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in a sentence.
- In the given sentence, the preposition "for" is used to show the purpose or intention of the flowers - they are a surprise for the mother.
- The word "for" indicates that the flowers are intended to be a surprise gift or gesture specifically directed towards the mother.
Other options:
- The other options mentioned (by, from, to) are not appropriate prepositions in the given sentence:
- "By" is not suitable because it does not convey the intended meaning of the surprise being for the mother.
- "From" is not suitable because it implies that the flowers are coming or being sent from the mother.
- "To" is not suitable because it implies that the flowers are being given to someone other than the mother.
Therefore, the correct preposition in the given sentence is "for".

A common error here is the use of 'to'

The preposition 'to' is put before the pronoun 'my'

Prepositions in the sentence:
- The preposition in this sentence is "for".
Explanation:
- A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence.
- In the given sentence, the preposition "for" indicates the purpose or reason for buying the flowers.
- The preposition "for" is used to express that the flowers are being bought in honor of or as a gift for someone's birthday.
Example:
- The sentence could be rewritten as "I am buying flowers in honor of her birthday."
- Here, the preposition "for" is replaced by the phrase "in honor of" to demonstrate the same relationship between the flowers and the birthday.
Other options:
- The other options listed in the question are not correct because they don't convey the intended meaning in this sentence.
- Option A: "by" does not accurately express the purpose or reason for buying the flowers.
- Option C: "from" indicates the source of the flowers, which is not relevant to the sentence.
- Option D: "to" indicates movement or direction, which is not applicable in this context.
Therefore, the correct answer is B: for.
