Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 60-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

About this test

Prepositions Level 3 Practice Set: Collocations and Superfluous Usage

This set builds precision with English prepositions: fixed verb and adjective collocations, look-alike pairs such as accused of and charged with, and sentences that carry a preposition they do not need. Aptitude360 frames the items as error spotting, fill in the blanks and sentence improvement, the formats used in competitive English papers.

Preposition usage covered in this Level 3 set

  • Accused of a crime versus charged with a crime
  • Comparatives that take 'to' rather than 'than', such as superior to and senior to
  • Verbs like discuss and attack that take a direct object with no preposition
  • Between paired with 'and', not 'to', in time ranges
  • For versus during when stating how long something lasted
  • Fixed collocations such as well versed in, fond of, insist on, and responsible to a person and responsible for a task

Key preposition concepts to revise

  • Transitive verbs that never need a preposition before their object
  • Latin comparatives ending in -ior that pair with 'to'
  • Insist on followed by a gerund, not an infinitive
  • Adjectives whose meaning shifts with the preposition that follows

Revision tips for advanced prepositions

  • Keep a running list of verb, adjective and noun collocations and test yourself on them aloud
  • Before adding a preposition after a verb, check whether the verb is transitive
  • In error spotting, scan comparatives first, since 'than' and 'to' mix-ups are easy to miss

Who should take this prepositions practice set

Learners who already know the basic preposition rules and want sharper practice on collocations and error spotting for competitive English sections will benefit from this level.

FAQs about Prepositions Practice Questions with Detailed Solutions – Level 3

What are prepositions in English grammar?
A preposition is a word placed before a noun or pronoun to show its relation to another word, often in terms of time, place or direction. Common examples are in, on, at, by, for and with.
Is it correct to say discuss about?
No. Discuss is a transitive verb, so the correct form is 'discuss the proposal'. The noun can take about, as in 'a discussion about the proposal'.
Is it superior than or superior to?
The correct form is superior to. Comparatives such as superior, inferior, senior and junior are followed by to, not than.
What is the difference between for and during?
For tells how long something lasts, as in 'for three weeks'. During tells when something happens within a period, as in 'during the summer'.
