What students practise
These Grade 4 writing prepositions activities help children use words such as under, beside, through, after, during, and because of to show place, time, direction, and relationship. Students practise adding prepositions to sentences, completing prepositional phrases, and using them to make writing more exact.
The printable worksheets include sentence-building tasks, fill-in activities, phrase expansion, and short writing prompts. Children move beyond simply spotting prepositions and learn how prepositional phrases can add detail without making a sentence confusing.
In this Grammar and Writing > Grade 4 > Parts of Speech collection, students focus on writing with prepositions, not just naming them. They learn that a preposition usually begins a phrase and connects to a noun or pronoun, as in “behind the curtain,” “after lunch,” or “with my friend.” Activities ask children to choose precise prepositions, complete phrases, and place them where they make sense in a sentence.
Building stronger sentences
The practice progresses from short, supported sentences to more independent writing. A child may first complete “The dog ran ___ the fence,” then expand a basic sentence such as “The backpack fell” into “The backpack fell under the desk.” This helps students see how prepositional phrases answer questions like where, when, which one, or how.
Parent routine for home practice
Choose one worksheet and read the directions together. Before writing, ask your child to point to the object of the preposition—the noun or pronoun that follows it. After each item, have them reread the whole sentence aloud and ask, “Does this tell where, when, or how?” For a quick follow-up, invite your child to describe five things in the room using prepositional phrases: “near the window,” “on the shelf,” or “beside the chair.”
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these worksheets during grammar mini-lessons, literacy centers, morning work, or small-group review. They also fit well before a descriptive writing task, because students can apply prepositional phrases to add setting details and sentence variety. Completed pages make useful checks for whether students can use prepositions accurately in their own writing.
Common errors to watch for
Some students leave the phrase unfinished, writing “The bird flew over” when the sentence needs an object, such as “over the roof.” Others choose a preposition that does not match the meaning, like “during the table” instead of “under the table.” Watch for long strings of phrases that make a sentence hard to follow, and encourage students to keep the clearest details.

Why iBloom worksheets help
These iBloom worksheets give Grade 4 students repeated, focused practice with prepositions inside real sentence contexts. A child-friendly strategy is: preposition + object = phrase. If the phrase tells where, when, or how and the sentence still sounds clear, it is probably doing its job.
