10 August 2006: Prepositions

Well, the weather may be marginally better than it has been but it still isn't very warm and everyone (not just the British) is beginning to complain and to ask where the spring has gone to. However, the daffodils are out and Chester is looking very pretty, if you can see it for the rain.

You'll be really pleased to hear that the new computers are almost ready to be installed in the new computer room, and no-one will have to fight to use computers ever again.

Exercise
It's time for prepositions again. Let's see how you get on. Some of them are quite difficult! Fill in the correct preposition in the gaps.

The word this week is tenacious which we use to describe something that doesn't stop or give something up easily. For example: She is a very tenacious person, she doesn't give up easily.

Have a good week,
Harriet
