Prepositions in English
Today we're going to practice the use of some Prepositions in English.
It's important to know that a preposition has the main function of establishing a relationship between two entities (expressed by the two words or expressions that come around it).
Eg.: "I see it written IN your eyes".
That means, the preposition IN indicates a relationship of location between the word WRITTEN and the word EYES.
We can see a lot of similar examples of the use of prepositions in English in today's song...
"Slipping Away", by Max Merritt & The Meteors
It's been a musical hit from the past till the present days.
Your task is very simple.
1- You will listen to the song;
2- The song lyrics is on the video screen;
3- There are some spaces intentionally left in blank (in parentheses) in the songs lyrics, LIKE THIS: (______);
4- All you have to do is FILL IN THE BLANKS WITH THE PREPOSITIONS YOU HEAR while you listen to the song.
5- Before starting the exercise, let's practice the pronunciation of some commun English prepositions. ONLY THREE OF THEM ARE BEING USED IN THE SONG LYRICS!
Listen to me. DO NOT REPEAT!
OF - IN - TO - FOR - WITH - BEHIND
BETWEEN - BY - FROM - INTO - ABOUT
AT - AFTER - THROUGH - OVER - UNDER
OFF - BEFORE - WITHOUT - WITHIN - DURING
AGAINST - UPON - AMONG - AROUND - ACROSS
Now listen again BUT REPEAT AT THE PAUSES!
OF - IN - TO - FOR - WITH - BEHIND
BETWEEN - BY - FROM - INTO - ABOUT
AT - AFTER - THROUGH - OVER - UNDER
OFF - BEFORE - WITHOUT - WITHIN - DURING
AGAINST - UPON - AMONG - AROUND - ACROSS
As a matter of "KEY TO THE EXERCISE", the original footage videoclip will be played WITH THE COMPLETE LYRICS IN CLOSED CAPTIONS. Check your answers atthat time!
Ready? Let's begin... I wish you good luck.

Slipping Away
Max Merritt & The Meteors - Slipping Away
"Baby I've been watching you
Watching everything you do
And I just can't help the feeling
Someone else's stealing you away (__________) me
I see it written (__________) your eyes
You conform it (__________) your lies
Though the way that you weep can hold me
I would rather that you told me
Where you wanna be
Oooh slipping away (__________) me
Oooh slipping away (__________) me
And it's breaking me (__________) two
Watching you slipping away
Baby I've been watching you
Watching everything you do
And I just can't help the feeling
Someone else's stealing you away (__________) me
I see it written (__________) your eyes
You conform it (__________) your lies
Though the way that you weep can hold me
I would rather that you told me
Where you wanna be
Oooh slipping away (__________) me
Oooh slipping away (__________) me
And it's breaking me (__________) two
Watching you slipping away
...
And it's breaking me (__________) two
Watching you slipping away
...
And it's breaking me (__________) two
Watching you slipping away
Baby I've been watching you
Watching everything you do
And I just can't help the feeling
Someone else's stealing you away (__________) me
I see it written (__________) your eyes
You conform it (__________) your lies
Though the way that you weep can hold me
I would rather that you told me
Where you wanna be
Oooh slipping away (__________) me
Oooh slipping away (__________) me
And it's breaking me (__________) two
Watching you slipping away
...
And it's breaking me (__________) two
Watching you slipping away
...
And it's breaking me (__________) two
Watching you slipping away
...
And it's breaking me (__________) two
Watching you slipping away"
