The Acquisition and Application of Prepositions by Chinese Middle School Students——Taking IN, ON, and AT as Examples

Abstract

This paper attempts to put forward pedagogical suggestions for Chinese middle school English teachers to improve their efficiency of preposition teaching by analyzing the errors made by Chinese English learners. Because of the complex semantics network of all prepositions, this paper will take only three prepositions IN, ON, and AT as examples to make a deeper analysis in this field.
