Grade 1 Grammar Worksheet - Building Confidence
Circle the word that shows where.
Mom put the milk in the fridge.
The bird sits in the nest.
A frog sat on a log.
The shoes stay under the table.
The cat naps under the tree.
The cookies stay in the jar.

A preposition is a small word that links a noun to the rest of the sentence and often tells where: the cat sleeps on the bed, the ball rolled under the chair. Children use these words in speech all day but rarely notice them as a part of speech, and in first grade the goal is simply to spot them. On this grade 1 worksheet each line is a short sentence followed by three words from it: an action word, a place word and the name of a thing, and your child circles the one that shows where.
Most lines on every sheet use in, on and under; support sheets add one other place word, such as behind or near, and later sheets add two or three, such as beside, through and across. Act each one out with a toy and a box.
Common Core standard: L.1.1.I
