стях и правилах употребления в речи. А тренировочные упражнения вы сможете найти в книгах «Английский язык: полный
курс подготовки к централизованному тестированию и экзамену» и «Грамматика английского языка: готовимся к централизованному тестированию».
Выполняя задания на выбор предлогов, помните, что одно
и то же слово может употребляться с разными предлогами. Иногда разница в употреблении предлогов незначительна и возможны несколько вариантов (например, excited about / by / at –
взволнованный чем-то), но иногда от выбора предлога изменяется смысл (например, good for sb – полезный для кого-л., good
at sth – хорошо разбирающийся в чем-л.). Употребление предлога также зависит от выражения, в котором он используется.
Давайте разберем несколько текстов на употребление пред-
логов.

How long have you been sitting today? Maybe you sit to eat break-
fast, (1) … your desk, in the classroom, (2) … the car, (3) … the bus,
and in front of the TV in the evenings. It all adds (4) … . Sitting time
is a health risk with both long and short term impacts. To reduce your
risk of health problems, you need to be aware (5) … how much you
sit and try to move more throughout the day.
There are lots of ways for you to be more physically active and
less sedentary (6) … every day. You don’t have to do organised or
competitive physical activity to benefit. Social physical activity with

activity. Get real! Why not try meeting up with friends (10) … person
instead (11) … online? Choose activities you enjoy doing, and you will
be more likely to continue doing them. Be active every day (12) … as
many ways as you can!

Анализ текста 1
1 b – выражение to sit at a tesk – сидеть за партой, не на парте
(on), в парте (in) или рядом с партой (by). Предлог to – направление движения куда? – к парте.
2 с – выражение to sit in the car – сидеть в машине, внутри
небольшого пространства. Предлог by употребляется для обозначения способа передвижения: by car – (ехать) на машине. Словосочетание on the car обозначает «на поверхности машины»,
at the car – нахождение около машины, into the car – направле-
ние движения куда? – в машину.
3 b – выражение to sit on the bus – сидеть в автобусе, в об-
щественном транспорте. Сравните: by bus, но on a bus – наличие
артикля (a / the) перед общественным транспортом требует употребления предлога on.
4 d – фразовый глагол add up «складывать, суммировать».
Идиоматическое выражение: it all adds up «это все суммируется».
5 a – выражение to be aware of sth «знать о чем-л., быть
в курсе чего-л.». Не путайте с глаголом to know about sth «знать
о чем-л.».
6 с – словосочетания с местоимением every (каждый) не тре-
буют предлога: every day, every year и т.п.
7 e – словосочетание by yourself означает «в одиночку, без по-
сторонней помощи». Такое же значение имеет словосочетание
on your own.
8 b – по содержанию текста подходит выражение it’s good for
you – это (т.е. быть активным) полезно для вас. Сравните: it’s
good of you to do sth – это мило с вашей стороны сделать что-л.;
he’s good to you – он добр по отношению к вам; he’s good at = with
sth – он хорошо в чем-л. разбирается.
9 e – выражение to swap sth for sth «обменять что-то на
что-то». Сравните: to swap sth with sb «обмениваться чем-л.
с кем-л.».
10 с – выражение in person «лично».
11 a – составной предлог instead of sth «вместо чего-то».
12 d – выражение in many ways «по-разному, разными спо-
собами».
