Slide 6 : The video shop is located next to the book shop. Grammar Point: You can find the confectioners store on West Street. The gallery is located beside the pharmacy. The words in bold black letters (next to, on, beside) are what we call prepositions. A preposition describes a relationship between other words in a sentence. For instance, we use the preposition “next to” or “beside” to express notions of an object being close to a point. To express notions of place, particularly when you are referring to the surface, you can use “on.”
