Prepositions: to, over, at

Hello! These notes show how to use the prepositions to, over, and at. Read the short rules and try the fun exercises. (For Class 1–2, Kenya)

1. "to" — going towards

Use to when someone goes from one place to another (movement) or goes to a person.

Rule: verb + to + place/person (e.g., go to, give to, walk to).

Use over when something goes above another thing or across it.

Think: If it passes above or across it, use over.

Use at for a particular place (small or exact) or a specific time.

Tip: Use at for points (a point on a map or a time on a clock).

- to = movement toward (go to the shop)
- over = above or across (fly over the river)
- at = exact place or time (wait at the gate; at 7 o'clock)

Parents / Teachers: Ask the child to say the sentence aloud after filling the blank.

Good work! Practice saying sentences with to, over, and at every day.
