As you can, we’re dealing with words like “in” and “on” and “at” in this PPT.
I can’t tell you how many times my students would miss these. And the really good students would miss them a lot as well.
Sometimes we call these small pieces of a sentence ‘articles,’ and it’s really important that students learn them early. It’ll be a dead giveaway that a student isn’t a native speaker when words like “in” and “at” are left off that college application letter.

An English Prepositions PowerPoint with Pictures on Every Slide
And that’s why showing your students a simple but effective Prepositions PPT like this is such a good idea.
All of the pictures in this PPT are just free samples, so you’ll see a little watermark on them. But really, you move through these slides so fast that it doesn’t really matter.
This first one has “in.” Yep, pretty simple, but that’s what your students need to learn this stuff for good.

Simple and Effective ESL and Bilingual Prepositions
I graded a lot of homework when I was a teacher, and small prepositional words like “at” were really left out a lot.
There’s a whole series of slides that focus on where and how you can use the word “at,” like this one here:

ESL Prepositions like "At, In, On"
PowerPoints are really great for teaching ESL students because they’re so visual. Here they can focus in on something they all know – writing their name at the top of the page – but which they probably don’t think about in English too often.
82 Slides Means You'll Kill a Lot of Time
The PowerPoint comes back to the old pictures, and this requires the students to remember the word. Words are reinforced, and you’ll see the batter students flipping through their notebooks looking for the right words.
Easy Reinforcement of ESL Prepositions
There’s a chance for students to throw out answers at you, which is great for those more outspoken kids. Remember, with a little planning before class you can make a game out of many of these slides. Keep a running tally in class – it’s easy if you just cut the class right down the middle and into two teams.
Have an ESL Prepositions Quiz that's Fun!
At the end of this Prepositions PPT there’s a quiz. This will work best as a kind of ‘sudden-death’ for the two teams, and it’s also a great way to let the students do something by themselves for a few minutes.
Don’t be afraid to have them right each sentence out in their notebooks, writing in the correct answer. This will really kill time, but it’ll also reinforce the correct way to write those sentences. Believe me, if you’re grading, this is a big thing!

You’ll get answer slides as well, so running through those will eat up even more time.
