Elementary prepositions

prepositions

There are two short video presentations concerning some elementary but important prepositions of place and direction.
This first one covers:
    in | inside | on | under | above | outside | into | out of | off | between
The second one covers:
    aboard | across | ahead of | behind | beside | over | middle of (OK, not a preposition, really) | in front of | through

This is a troublesome area because these prepositions are sometimes restricted to place or movement and some can apply to both.  They rarely translate that way.
These video presentations may help people understand some of them.

You can play them full screen by clicking on the full screen button control.
