Usage of prepositions in OET writing

Neena J.

Prepositions can be challenging, but with practice, you can improve your understanding and usage of them. Here's a breakdown of the different types of prepositions and their usage:

 

1. Time Prepositions:

   - at: used for specific times (e.g., at 3 o'clock, at noon)

   - in: used for months, years, seasons (e.g., in May, in 2022, in winter)

   - on: used for days of the week and specific dates (e.g., on Monday, on December 25th)

 

2. Place Prepositions:

   - in: used for large areas or spaces (e.g., in a city, in a room)

   - on: used for surfaces (e.g., on the table, on the wall)

   - at: used for specific points or locations (e.g., at the bus stop, at the office)

 

3. Movement Prepositions:

   - to: indicates direction toward a specific place (e.g., go to the park)

   - from: indicates movement away from a specific place (e.g., come from the airport)

   - through: indicates movement from one side to the other (e.g., walk through the door)

 

4. Prepositions of Relationship:

   - of: shows possession or relationship (e.g., a friend of mine, the book of John)

   - for: indicates the purpose or intended recipient (e.g., a gift for you, medicine for patients)

 

5. Other Common Prepositions:

   - with: indicates association or accompanying (e.g., go with a friend, a book with pictures)

   - by: indicates the means or method (e.g., travel by train, write by hand)

   - about: indicates the subject or topic (e.g., talk about the weather, a book about history)

 

Tips for using prepositions correctly:

1. Pay attention to collocations: Some verbs, nouns, or adjectives are commonly followed by specific prepositions. For example, "apply for a job," "interested in something," "depend on someone."

 

2. Use preposition dictionaries or guides: They can provide examples and explanations of prepositions used with different words.

 

3. Practice: Read English texts, listen to English conversations, and pay attention to how prepositions are used. Also, practice writing sentences using prepositions correctly.

 

Remember that prepositions can sometimes vary based on context or regional differences. It's important to keep practicing and expanding your knowledge to become more comfortable with their usage.
