Help the storyteller describe this thrilling escape! Select ALL the prepositions that logically and grammatically fit in the blank.
The brave knight galloped _____ the old stone bridge just before the dragon could catch him.

The correct answers are across and over.

When talking about moving from one side of a bridge to the other, both across and over are perfectly natural and grammatically correct.

Through implies moving inside a three-dimensional container or tube (which wouldn't fit a standard stone bridge), and inside means staying within an enclosed space rather than traveling from one end to the other.

Preposition

Preposition vs particle: same words (in, on, up, off), different jobs. A preposition links to a noun (look at the book). A particle changes verb meaning without a noun (give up = quit). Test: is there a noun/pronoun after it forming a prepositional phrase? → preposition. Does it change the verb's meaning? → particle in a phrasal verb.

A preposition = small word connecting a noun to the sentence (time, place, manner, relationship). Choice is idiomatic per verb/adjective combination.

Diagnostic: struggling with which preposition to use? It's almost never about logic — look up the specific verb/adjective + preposition combination.

A2 | Elementary | Pre-intermediate

A2 vs B1: A2 handles routine transactions and simple past narration. B1 handles connected discourse, explaining reasons, and understanding main points in clear standard speech. If you can tell what happened but not why it matters, you're still A2.

A2 is the elementary level of the CEFR: past simple, present perfect, first conditional, basic modals, and routine communication about familiar topics.

Diagnostic: can you link ideas with because, although, so that and hold a conversation beyond scripted topics? No → A2. Yes → moving into B1.

Medium

Medium vs Easy: Easy has one obviously correct answer and clearly wrong distractors. Medium has one correct answer but plausible distractors — you need to actually know the rule, not just guess from sound.

The Medium tag filters for A2B1 challenges with realistic difficulty: one rule per question, plausible alternatives, everyday contexts.

Diagnostic: if you're scoring 90%+ on Easy, move here. If you're below 60% on Medium, go back to Easy for that topic. Target 70–80% accuracy for maximum learning.
