ASSIGNMENT
A. Circle the prepositions in the following passage and write them in the
right box below on the basis of how they work in sentences.
Electronic literature is born in digital environments: it includes
conversational characters, also known as ‘chatterbots’, interactive fiction,
novels that take the form of emails, SMS messages, blogs, and poems and
stories that are generated by computers, either interactively or based on
given parameters.
An e-book is an electronic version of a print book that can be read on a
computer, or a device such as a tablet, a smartphone or an e-reader (a
book-sized device). E-readers have become quite popular because they
can store thousands of e-books at one time. Some e-books apps have a
good selection of modern and classic e-books, customizable features and
a well-designed interface. They can be integrated with web stores and
other electronic devices to facilitate the purchase, download and transfer
of e-books instantly.
Preposition of place Preposition of time Preposition of
direction
Types of Prepositions
Simple prepositions show the movement or position of a noun or pronoun
and the time of the action. Keep in mind that we cannot differentiate
between the position of a noun and time unless the prepositions are used
in a sentence.
