Question

fill the blanks with suitable prepositions.1. they were waiting_____the bus stop.​

Answer 1

Answer:

I waited AT the bus stop for ten minutes.

Explanation:

Prepositions are words that indicate relationships with the other words in the sentence. Prepositions of place are used to refer to a place, usually to denote the location of something or someone.

Let's look at the usage of various alternatives in the option as preposition of place:

at : to refer to an exact place where something is situated / event

on : to refer to placement of something attached / adjacent to something else; to refer to something displayed on something else

in : means "inside"

for : not used as a preposition of place

In the sentence, as a reference to a specific location , i.e. the bus stop. Therefore, the suitable preposition here is "at".

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:

I waited AT the bus stop for ten minutes.
