Chapter Material

-
Read this chapter from beginning to end but don't study it carefully until you have listened to the lecture. All of this material on prepositions is for recognition. In the first read through, just get a good sense of the basic categories of prepositions.
-
Study every section of the chapter carefully, especially 6.5-6.7. Be diligent with the vocabulary for this chapter. Prepositions tend to be a little more difficult to memorize as vocabulary.
