Welcome to the Prepositions Lab!

French prepositions love to surprise English speakers. Often, the one you’d expect in English doesn’t work in French, and sometimes the wrong choice can completely change the meaning.

Here’s how this lab works:

1. See the French sentence with a blank and the English translation.
2. Guess the right preposition in French — sometimes it matches English, sometimes it doesn’t!
3. Flip to the answer and read the quick tip to understand why that preposition fits.

These exercises aren’t about memorizing lists — they’re about getting a feel for how French prepositions really work. The more you practice, the more natural it becomes.

Enjoy the surprises! Every “aha” moment makes you a little more fluent.
