Listening & Speaking Time

The teacher will select one student to be the anchor of the activity who will pick up

some small objects like duster, school bag, etc. for the activity. The teacher will ask
the other students of the class to be prepared to talk about something based on two
cues: One, the anchor performing certain actions and, second, the object, like the bag.
As per the rule, the anchor will either change his/her action or change the place of
the object in each round of the activity. In each round, the student will take the help
of the teacher to pick out a suitable preposition. For example:
Anchor’s action: Keeps the school bag under the table.

Student’’’’s response: The bag is kept under the table.

All prepositions have objects. If a preposition does not have an object, then it is not a
preposition—it’s an adverb. A preposition always has an object. An adverb never has
an object. Look at these example sentences. Prepositions
