EAP 140 AM - WANG, Lingshan - Week 4 4/4

The prepositions such as at, on, in, by, with, to, for, from, and of are the most frequently used in English.  

e.g.
1) This book written by Zoe.  ("by"is a preposition here)
2) I arrived in 7.p.m. yesterday.  ("in"is a preposition here)
3) He just standing here and waiting for his wife.  ("for"is a preposition here)

Different prepositions have different uses and usages.  For example, the preposition at, when it showing time, we should use it at a specific time, at 6.p.m., at lunch.  If at showing place, It has four different usages.  The first one is at a meeting place or location: at the bar, at school.  The second one is at the edge of something: siting at the table.  The third  
one is at the corner of something: at the end.  The fourth one is at the target: catch at.  

e.g.
1)  I ate my breakfast at 7:40 a.m. this morning.
2)  I hope I can finish my homework at school.

3)  We sit at the table and talk with each other.

Your blog posts are good, and you are writing a lot about grammar and strategies you have learned so far, but be sure that you are making full-sentence examples in your own words with the correct grammar. There are a few grammar errors (prepositions)in some of your examples. 7/10
