The English Prepositions Practice Tool sounds boring at first, because yeah, who gets excited about tiny words like on, in, or at, but once you use it, it’s surprisingly satisfying. You get sentences with blanks, you guess the preposition, sometimes confidently, sometimes with zero faith in yourself, and the tool gently tells you if you’re right or very not right, often explaining why. Instead of memorizing rules, you start thinking about meaning—place, time, movement—and that’s when things click, like realizing why it’s on the bus but in the car. After a while, you stop overthinking and just feel the right answer, which makes reading smoother and writing less awkward. It’s low-pressure, slightly addictive, and quietly fixes one of English’s most annoying problem areas.
