Preposition Precision Drill

This worksheet supports students in Grades 6 and 7 as they revise analytical paragraphs that contain awkward or incorrect uses of between and among. By correcting preposition choices and writing a one-sentence explanation for each revision, learners practice grammar accuracy, logical reasoning, formal tone, sentence clarity, and concise explanation while working within authentic analytical writing contexts.
