Help the movie director finish the script for the clumsy spy's escape scene by dragging the correct prepositions into place.
Agent 00-Oops sprinted through the dark tunnel, tiptoed along the narrow ledge, and finally tumbled out of the open window into a dumpster.

We use through for movement from one side of an enclosed space (like a tunnel) to the other.
We use along for movement following a line or a long, narrow surface (like a ledge or a path).
We use out of for movement from the inside of a space or container to the outside (like falling from a window).
Preposition
If you've ever written I'm interested on you (should be in) or I'm good on football (should be at) — you've hit prepositions' main pitfall. Their choice is mostly idiomatic, not logical, and rarely matches what your native language does. Memorising the right preposition for each common verb and adjective is what stops your speech from sounding subtly off.
A preposition is a small word linking a noun or noun phrase to other parts of the sentence: in, on, at, to, from, with. Marks time, place, manner, or abstract relationships. Choice is largely idiomatic, especially in fixed combinations (depend on, good at, afraid of).
Phrase
If you've ever read a long sentence in English and felt lost in the middle, you've hit a sentence with too many phrases stacked together. Learning to spot phrases — on the table, the man with the hat, very quickly — turns dense prose into something you can parse: each phrase is one chunk of meaning, not a string of unrelated words.
A phrase is a group of words functioning as a single unit in a sentence, without a subject + verb pair (which would make it a clause). Types include noun phrase (the red car), verb phrase (has been running), prepositional phrase (on the table), and adjective/adverb phrases.
A2 | Elementary | Pre-intermediate
If you can order coffee, ask for directions, and tell someone what you did yesterday — but struggle the moment the conversation drifts into anything abstract — you're operating at A2. Knowing this matters: A2 is the level where most learners plateau because they reach for B2 material too early and burn out. Stay here and your foundations get unbreakable.
A2 is the elementary level in the CEFR framework, covering routine communication and the first wave of real grammar: past simple and continuous, present perfect, basic modal verbs, first conditional, and common verb-pattern rules.
Difficulty: Medium
If easy questions feel too obvious but hard questions leave you guessing, you're probably ready for Medium — the level where most real learning happens. It pushes just enough to expose the rules you don't quite have yet, without burying you in edge cases. This is where steady fluency is built, one well-aimed challenge at a time.
The Medium difficulty tag marks middle-range challenges — typically A2 to B1. One rule per question, realistic distractors, and contexts that require active thought rather than instant recognition.
