French Grammar • A1 • 10 Illustrated Scenes
📍 French Prepositions of Place – A1 Worksheet
Practise common French prepositions of place through ten clear illustrated scenes. For each picture, learners choose the correct option, copy it and then create a complete sentence.
The same one-page activity is provided in two typography styles: a standard print version for easy reading and a cursive version for combined grammar and handwriting practice.
👀 Understand location through visual clues
Each scene shows a person in relation to a familiar object such as a table, sofa, box, staircase, tree or chair. The visual context helps beginners understand meaning before they write, reducing the need for translation.
After selecting the right preposition from three choices, learners reuse it in a full sentence. This progression moves from recognition to accurate written production.
