This Key Stage 1 quiz takes a look at Prepositions. This quiz introduces Year 2 students at KS1 to ‘in’ and ‘on’ as positions. The National Curriculum states that Year 3 pupils should know how to use prepositions correctly. This quiz is an introduction, for Year 2 pupils, to those words they will use most frequently. It will help their understanding of literacy and the English language.
A preposition is a word that tells us where something is - its position. We can say the cat is inside or on the cage. The prepositions here are ‘inside’ and ‘on’. Test your knowledge on prepositions.

You go on swings because you sit on top of them.

The words 'under,' 'by' and 'above' are all prepositions, however, in these sentences they aren't quite right. The picture shows the cars on the bridge, not under it. They weren't by or beside the bridge as they were on it and they weren't above the bridge as this would suggest there is a gap between the bridge and the cars.

The first three answers tell you the position of something.

We are saying the man jumped into the river - so we are relating/explaining the relationship between the man and the river.
