Random quiz - Prepositions

Practise your prepositions with nearly 200 example sentences.

Use Select to choose:

All prepositions
Prepositions of time
Prepositions of place
Propositions of movement
Idioms and expressions

At the moment only single word prepositions are included. But my idea is to add to this list every now and then and build up a collection. This will later include two and three word prepositions.

When you press Start quiz, the program will randomise the list and show you the first ten questions. When you've completed the first ten, you have a choice:

1. - Select 'Options' - 'Text entry' and type the words in from memory

2. - Or you can move on to the next ten, by pressing Next. You can repeat as many times as you like until you have been through the whole list.

I'd rather see the prepositions in alphabetical order - Fine. Just uncheck the 'Randomised' box. But it won't be much of a quiz!

This is too easy! - If you want to make the quiz a little more difficult, select 'Options' - 'Text entry' and enter the prepositions from your keyboard.

Sometimes there is more than one possible answer. The program, however, knows only the answer I've given it, so if it marks you wrong, just try a different alternative.

To start at the beginning again just press Start quiz once more.
