preposition GAME

latin-lover

Italy

Ok, most of you will find this thread a little useless but I have lot of problems with these damn prepositions. Unfortunately they are completely different from my native language so I have to study this lesson very hard and, just like every lesson, I need to do lot of exercise!
.
Why don’t try to make up one more game?
.
Let’s see…
.
The first one who feels poor in English like me suggests a noun as….TABLE, for example.
.
The next friend have to build two/three phrases with this word and put a different preposition in every phrase, so:
.
My keys are ON the table;
The cat is hidden UNDER the table;
I left my laggage NEAR the table.
.
So the prevoius writes another word as….car.
.
My friend is ON the car
There is a cat OVER my car
A strange guy is wander AROUND may car
.
Have you got what I mean?
.
Before, I suggest to give a glance here

...AND DON’T FORGET TO CORRECT ME!!!

Let’s start with “BED”

the place where I live it's near the sea.

I can see the sea every day because it's in front of my house, and I usually walk on foot everyday because it's very gratefully.

in my opinion, I think it's better put on the preposition and both of them make any kind of senteces you like  with the preposition in spite of putting on the noun like time, bed or hill, I don't know if both of us are agree with me and also in this way it's easier. what do they think? let's me see an example…

preposition.- UP  

I get up at nine o clock every day

what do they think? is it easier or not?

also you can make the sentence as you like.

I HOPE LATIN-LOVER, YOU ARE AGREE WITH ME, IT'S ONLY A SUGGESTED.

SO, MY PREPOSITION IS…...
