Uchta asosiy predlog

in - yopiq yoki chegaralangan joyni bildiradi: in the room, in the box, in Tashkent. on - yuzaga tegib turgan narsani bildiradi: on the table, on the wall, on the floor. at - aniq nuqta yoki manzilni bildiradi: at the door, at the bus stop, at home. Shubhalanganda o'zingizdan so'rang: narsa ichidami, yuzasidami yoki bir nuqtadami?

• The keys are in my bag. — Kalitlar sumkamning ichida.
• The book is on the table. — Kitob stol ustida.
• I am waiting at the bus stop. — Men bekatda kutyapman.
• She is at home now. — U hozir uyda.

Shahar, bino va manzil

Shahar va davlatlar bilan doim in ishlatiladi: in Samarkand, in Uzbekistan. Bino ichida bo'lish ma'nosida ham in qo'llanadi: in the house. Lekin binoning odatdagi vazifasi nazarda tutilsa at ishlatiladi: at school (o'qish uchun), at work (ishlash uchun). Aniq manzil ham at bilan beriladi: at 25 Navoi Street.

• My parents live in Bukhara. — Ota-onam Buxoroda yashaydi.
• The children are at school. — Bolalar maktabda.
• He lives at 25 Navoi Street. — U Navoiy ko'chasi 25-uyda yashaydi.

Boshqa foydali predloglar

Joyni aniqroq ko'rsatish uchun yana bir nechta predlog bor. under - ostida, over yoki above - tepasida, behind - orqasida, in front of - oldida, between - ikki narsa orasida, next to yoki beside - yonida, opposite - qarshisida. Ular ko'pincha to be fe'li bilan birga ishlatiladi.

• The cat is under the chair. — Mushuk stul ostida.
• The bank is next to the school. — Bank maktab yonida.
• She is standing between her parents. — U ota-onasi orasida turibdi.
• There is a shop opposite my house. — Uyim qarshisida do'kon bor.

Transport bilan

Transport turiga qarab predlog o'zgaradi. Katta transportda in emas, on ishlatiladi: on the bus, on the train, on the plane. Kichik transport va mashina bilan esa in: in the car, in a taxi. Bu qoidani yodlab olish kerak, chunki mantiqiy izohi yo'q.

• I am on the bus now. — Men hozir avtobusdaman.
• They are in the car. — Ular mashinada.
• We travelled on the train. — Biz poyezdda sayohat qildik.

Barqaror iboralar

Ba'zi iboralarda predlog qat'iy belgilangan va uni almashtirib bo'lmaydi. Masalan: at home, at work, at school, in bed, on the left, on the right, in the middle. Ularda artikl ham ko'pincha qo'yilmaydi. Bunday iboralarni bir butun so'z kabi yod oling.

• My father is at work. — Otam ishda.
• The bank is on the left. — Bank chap tomonda.
• The children are in bed. — Bolalar uxlayapti.
