Prepositions of location
Prepositions of location are words that

are used to describe the place where a
certain object is at a certain time. For
you to achieve in identification of
prepositions of direction, then you
have to ensure that you answer the
question where.
Prepositions of Location
Two things can be next to each other.

For example, A is next to B in the alphabet.
One thing can be between (or in between) two

other things.
For example, B is between A and C in the
alphabet.
One thing can be near another.

For example, London is near Oxford.
The opposite of near is far from.

For example, Edinburgh, the capital of
Scotland, is far from London.
One thing can be opposite another thing. If

you are sitting face to face with another
person, then you are sitting opposite that
person.
If you are in a queue, someone can be behind

you (so you are before that person) and
someone can be in front of you (so you are
behind that person).
Prepositions of Location
One thing can be on another thing.

For example, my computer is on my
desk.
One thing can be under another

thing. For example, I have a
mousepad under my mouse.
Below means a lower level. In a

group of four football teams (team A,
team B, team C and team d), team C
are below team B.
Above means on a higher level. Team

A are above Team B, and team B is
above team C.
Prepositions of Location/Direction
On top of means that something is

physically located above another
thing.
For example, there is a pile of things
on my desk. First, there is a
newspaper. On top of the newspaper
there is a book. On top of the book is
a cup of coffee.
At the top means that something is

located at the highest point. “We’re
pleased that she is at the top of her
class for English.”
At the bottom means that something

is located at the lowest point. “We’re
not pleased that she is at the bottom
of her class for Maths.”
Across means on the other side. “I live at

no 1, London Road. Across from me (on
the other side of the road) is no 2, London
Road.”
“Go across the road.” (=cross the road)
Walk along the river. (follow the river)
Walk by the river. (walk near the river)
Walk beside the river. (walk next to the

river)
Go up the stairs.
Go down the stairs.
(You can also walk up or down a road or

street.)
Go through the tunnel. (You go in one side,

then you come out on the other side.)
Go straight on (at a crossroads or a

roundabout).
Go round the corner.
Walk around a town. (Walk in a circle, or in a

random pattern.)
