The Criteria Approach: Prepositions Vol.1 is a unique and compelling way for learners of English to discover the criteria that native speakers use to select prepositions. Using your own awareness, go through the illustrations and listen to the narration in this application many times and deepen your understanding of English.

Prepositions are essential for expressing directions and locations in space and time, and thus a key component of learning how to communicate effectively in English. Prepositions also indicate whether a space should be imagined as a point (zero-dimensional), a line (1-dimensional), a plane (2-dimensional), or a 3-dimensional object.

In this Volume 1, we will examine prepositions which indicate position relative to a line, i.e. one dimensional space. These include on, onto, off, over, under and along.

The Criteria Approach presents you with a large number of situations for you to express in English, and through the experience of visualizing these situations, you will naturally find the criteria you need to use to select the various prepositions.
Please have fun with The Criteria Approach.
