表示方位的英语短语
介词+定冠词the+名词构成介词短语的用法，介词后面可以跟名词和代词做宾语，构成介词短语。今天我们主要学习一下用来表示方位的介词和介词短语。
表示方位的介词和介词短语

例如：Your book is on the desk. 你的书在课桌上面。

拓展：above 和 over的区别
on指的有接触面的上面，但是over和above都是没有接触面的上面。
over“在„„正上方”，与under相对。
例如：There is a bridge over the river. 河上有一座桥。

5. in front of the classroom
Ⅱ. 单项选择。
1. D。本句子是考查介词的用法，但是，介词behind，on，in的后面用冠词the和名词、冠词、介词短语，不和to连用，所以本句子是用形容词next和to连用表示“紧挨着、在旁边”的意思。
2. D。本句子用介词on和冠词the，名词wall构成介词短语表示“在墙上”的意思，后面用介词of构成名词所有格，表示所属关系，表示无生命的名词所有格的形式用of，而不用’s形式。
3. C。本句子是考查介词的用法，表示在某物的表面之上用介词on;表示在某物内部用介词in。窗户是在墙的里面所以用介词in;画是贴在墙的表面上，与墙接触，所以用介词on。
4. D。从对话前面的句子I can’t see it.和问句可以判断后面的句子是用介词behind表示“在门的后面”，所以选择D是比较符合对话的上下句子意思和情景。
5. A。句意：“Sally 非常开心，她脸上满脸微笑。”“在„„上”用介词on。
6. A。in bed 表示“卧床(睡觉)”，此时bed前无需加冠词。
