Your Small-Words Strategy

Tackle prepositions and connecting words systematically:

• Learn verb + preposition as one unit instead of memorizing prepositions in isolation
• Use the zoom-lens model for time and place: at (point), on (surface/day), in (container/period)
• Read extensively — prepositions are best absorbed through exposure, not rules
• Keep a preposition journal where you note corrections and patterns you notice
• Test yourself with fill-in-the-blank exercises using sentences from real emails and articles
