Suara Hati Ayahku

salam.

Good Morning everybody. You slept well last night Mr Brown?

Today I am going through with you something called PREPOSITIONS.

In Malay , we write things such as "Letakkan buku itu di atas meja."

dan " Masukkan udang kering ke dalam kuali bila minyak sudah mendidih."

Prepositions = kata sendi ; sendi nama seperti di atas / ke dalam

Examples:
1. Put the book ON the table.
2. Put the prawns INTO the wok.

You get me? (can you follow Mr Brown?) - do you understand what this is ?

Other examples.

3. Switch OFF the TV. ( off is the preposition).
4. Turn ON the computer ( on is the prepostion).
5. He sits between the Russian girls. ( between is the preposition).
6. Islam forbids man from mingling with ladies whom they can marry. ( WITH).
7. Flip through the Atlas and tell me where is MONGOLIA. ( THROUGH)
8. Hang the portrait on the wall, Amjeet Singh? (ON)
9. Get out from this room! It is on fire. (OUT)
10. See through the trees and don't worry so much about the jungle. (THROUGH)
