Place It Right with Prepositions: Visual Grammar Practice for Class 3

This Class 3 Prepositions Worksheet is a fun, hands-on resource designed to help children understand and apply prepositions that describe place, direction, and time. Through visual exercises, fill-in-the-blanks, story writing, and sorting tasks, learners develop a strong grasp of how words like in, on, under, and behind structure spatial and temporal relationships in a sentence.

1. It improves sentence clarity by showing location, direction, and timing.

3. It strengthens writing by allowing children to describe settings and actions.

4. It prepares learners for more complex sentence construction and storytelling.
