Prepositions and Conjunctions

Start with the mind maps

The listed mind maps offer different ways into prepositions and conjunctions. A Prepositions map explains how a preposition relates a noun or pronoun to other words. It uses examples such as a dog on a bed and a dog beneath a table. Another groups prepositions by time, place, direction, agent and manner or instrument.

For conjunctions, start with the Conjunctions mind map that shows words such as and, but, or and so. It connects them with uses including addition, contrast, options and outcome. A separate map groups conjunctions as coordinating, subordinating and correlative.

Move from examples to practice

After looking at a prepositions map, the notes on on, at and in offer another resource to study. The Prepositions flashcards and Prepositions Mixed Practice 2 quiz give you other formats to use alongside the maps.

For conjunctions, the conjunctions flashcard deck introduces coordinating and subordinating conjunctions. You can then use the Conjunctions quiz or the Conjunctions and, but, or, so quiz. Return to a map after a quiz and look again at any word or relationship you want to understand better.
