Listening Exercise Practice Those Pesky Prepositions

Listening Exercise Practice Those Pesky Prepositions The other day, I was speaking with a student about what makes prepositions so difficult.  First of all, there are just too many!  Second, English learners very commonly substitute or omit them.  Some of you might agree that you understand prepositions during an English lesson, but when it comes to real-world situations, you forget which ones to use.  The best  way to improve this is  to practice, practice, and practice some more.  So, in todays lesson well do just that.I came across this viral video  the other day.  Some of you may have seen the show, American Ninja Warrior.  On this  show, contestants must complete a ridiculous obstacle course in order to qualify for the final round  in Las Vegas and hopefully win the $500,000 prize.  In this video, a father creates a similar obstacle course for his young daughter in their backyard.  Listen closely to his commentary, and fill in all the missing prepositions.  Write your answers in the comments section below!Welcome __ Amer ica Ninja Warrior Denver City FinalsShes ready to go __ 3, 2, 1Shes making short work of it.  __ __ the fourth one, _______ __ the fifth oneLook at that, no hands!  Alright, and __ __ the balance beamAnd now __ __ a new obstacle, the teeter logWhoa!  Almost falls ___ there, now __ __ the cargo climbVery quickly __  the cargo climb, __  __ the top, ____ the log, crosses ____ the first shed, _______ the grocery cart conference tableAlright, now shes __ her way ____  the second shed __ the roof, __ __ the platform, ______ the bridge and __ __ the zip lineOne-handed ____ the water bottles and she makes it, no problemNow, __ __ the hanging steps __ Christmas tree cornerShes working her way _______ this very tough sectionWhoa!  Almost falls ___ there!Now, shes __ her way __ the warped wallYes!  Shes made it __ the warped wall!  3:23 and shes __ her way __ Vegas!Would you like more practice?  Book a free 25 minute class  with LOI today!  Cant wait until class?  Here are some helpf ul posts from LOI instructors about prepositions:To and for  (video and exercise)In, at, on  (video and exercise)In a Book, On the Internet  Learn Prepositions With Thriller and This is Halloween  Prepositions and the Worlds Largest Graffiti Tag
