6. Lessons on Prepositions

Paul is continuing his lecture on prepositions. What he is doing now is to ask the students to tell him "where am I?" The answer right now is "You are by my desk." Paul walks around the room, stops and has the next student tell him where he is, "in the corner, near the door, in front of the class," or "next to the window." Prepositions are quite difficult for foreigners to understand. Try to explain why you ride on or in a train but only ride in a car. Riding on a car can be dangerous.
