Prepositions and Articles for Turkish Speakers: the, a, in, on, at

Turkish has no articles and uses suffixes instead of prepositions — so when you switch to English, you face a double gap. You might say I went to store (missing the), She is teacher (missing a), or I arrived in the airport (should be at). These aren't random mistakes — they come directly from how Turkish works.

This challenge targets both gaps at once. You will practice adding the and a/an where Turkish uses nothing, choosing between in, on, and at for places and times (Turkish uses a single locative suffix -de/-da for all three), and nailing adjective+preposition collocations like good at, interested in, and afraid of — fixed pairings that have no equivalent pattern in Turkish.

You'll work through 12 questions in a mix of single-choice, multi-choice, drop-down, and drag-and-drop formats featuring missing cats, spy missions, time travelers, and alien blog posts — all set in Turkish cities.
