Understanding Prepositions of Position

In this lesson, Greg explains the differences between the prepositions 'over', 'above', 'under', and 'below'. He highlights that 'over' implies movement, while 'above' does not. Similarly, 'under' suggests being covered, whereas 'below' indicates a lower position without contact. The lesson also introduces 'underneath' and 'beneath' as formal alternatives.
