PREPOSITIONS OF PLACE

                                  PREPOSITIONS OF PLACE

WHAT IS PREPOSITION OF PLACE

A PREPOSITION OF PLACE  IS A PREPOSITION WHICH IS USED TO REFER TO A PLACE WHERE SOMETHING OR SOMEONE IS LOCATED 

I wont explain these prepositions in Portuguese. NEEDED MEANINGS WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED

 The green ball, watch where the ball is (position of the ball)








  • Preposition IN: THE BALL IS IN     (DENTRO) THE BOX
  • Preposition ON: THE BALL IS ON      (EM\NA\NO)THE BOX

  • Preposition  IN FRONT OF: THE BALL IS IN FRONT OF    ( EM FRENTE DE) THE BOX
  • Preposition BETWEEN: THE BALL IS BETWEEN     ( ENTRE) THE BOX
                 SOME PREPOSITIONS THAT MEAN THE SAME THING 

  1. NEXT TO = BESIDE           ( AO LADO)
  2. BELOW = BENEATH          (ABAIXO)
  3. CLOSE TO\ BY =   NEAR      (   PERTO \ DE \DA)

HOW TO USE CLOSE TO\ BY \NEAR


These words all mean the same thing - that the distance between the two object is small.
careful not to use the "close to" is the only one that uses the word " to.
It is incorrect to say: The ball is nearby the Tree  or the ball is near to the tree

  • The ball is close to the tree
  • The ball is near the tree
  • The ball is by the tree
Nearby is used without a direct object. it is generally used at the end of a sentence or phrase.
  • The ball is nearby the tree
  • There´s a tree with a ball nearby
