The Preposition Police
George took his dog Sally for a walk along the canal. Sally waited beside the road. They walked across the road. Together, they went through a tunnel and over a stile. George threw Sally’s ball toward the tall grass and it landed in the river. Sally swam through the water and dived underneath the surface to get the ball. She ran back to George and dropped the ball in front of him for another turn. She dropped it from her mouth when she returned next to him. After sunset, they went home and snuggled on the couch beneath a cosy blanket.
Greg took his dog Fluffy for a walk along the canal. Fluffy waited beside the road. They walked across the road. Together, they went through a tunnel and over a stile. Greg threw Fluffy’s ball toward the tall grass and it landed in the river. Fluffy swam through the water and dived underneath the surface to get the ball. She ran back to Greg and dropped the ball in front of him for another turn. She dropped it from her mouth when she returned next to him. After sunset, they went home and snuggled on the couch beneath a cosy blanket.
