This Grade 2 grammar worksheet introduces young learners to prepositions of place — near, between, and beside. Through simple, real-life examples and structured exercises, students learn how to describe the position of people, objects, and places clearly and accurately.
Understanding prepositions of place helps children:
1. Describe locations clearly in sentences.
2. Understand spatial relationships between objects.
3. Improve sentence clarity and communication skills.
4. Build strong foundational grammar for writing and speaking.
