A researcher made survey questionnaire was used to identify the students' profile followed by a 60-item researcher-made test on prepositions to measure their proficiency and distinguish what type of preposition was complicated to practice. Statistical treatments used for data analysis were simple percentage, mean, Chi-square and ANOVA. The researchers found out that the respondents were proficient in using the three types of prepositions. However, by looking at the errors committed, it can be implied that the prepositions of direction ' from' was too difficult, next is the prepositions of time 'in' and lastly the preposition of place 'on'. There was no significant relationship between the respondents' profile and their proficiency in using correct prepositions, and there was also no significant difference between the frequencies of error among the three types of the prepositions, as revealed from the data gathered. Hence, the three types of prepositions had almost the same number of errors obtained.
