GRAMMAR REVIEW

Prepositions of Direction
Prepositions of direction are used to talk about directions.
They include from, to, into, onto, and away from.

• Use the preposition “from” to talk about the source of something or the
place where it starts.
Examples:
I am from the United States.
Emily just came from the airport.
She got her boarding pass from the airline employee.

• Use the preposition “to” to show the direction of something.

Examples:
Bob goes to France every summer.
He went to the airport by taxi.
Let’s go to the concert.
The man is jumping from the cliff on the right to the cliff on the left.

• Use the preposition “into” to talk about people/things/animals that are

within or entering something.
Examples:
Put your passport into your purse.
The pet stepped into the box.
The girl jumped into the sea.

• Use the preposition “onto” to talk about people/things/animals that are

moving towards or on top of a surface.
Examples:
Put your suitcase onto the scale.
The child pulled herself onto the chair.
The cat climbed onto the roof.

• Use the preposition “away from” to talk about distance or people/things/

animals that are moving further from something.
Examples:

NOTE: Certain expressions use “away” by itself. For example: “Go away (from me)!”
and “John went away (from home) for college.”
