I've a research paper about errors in prepositions. I made an essay test for the students. They write about diffirent subjects. So, I need you guys to correct just the prepositions in these essays not the whole paragraph, because it is full of mistakes and it'll takes long time. It is about 12 paragraphs from different subjects and you've to correct only the prepositional errors>>>>>>>>> I think it is clear ^_^
1st student write about her best teacher:
My best teacher was an importent person when I was child. She called Mrs. Nolly and she met me in first day at school. She was a kind and friendly in dealing with me. She teached me Mathematics and it was an easy subject with her. She didn't work just as teacher in the school, but she was a guide for us in this life. She learned many things in my childhood and she helped me to memorize some parts of the text book. She made for me a good future by her advices. Really, I can't forget my great person who made the different in my life. And made me differ between the right and wrong. In the end, when I remmember her, I want to say from deep of my heart thank you.
2nd student write about her favorite place:
The beach is my favourite place. I find in it a peace.The picture of the sea and waves when it come on the rockes, it is so nice and cool. I like it especially in the summer. Also, the feeling of warm of family when they are setting together around the meal eating and chatting. The scene of the children when they play and building a palace by sand. That made me feel by the God's grace on us and thank him.
I'll continue write the rest of the paragraph later. Proofread just the prepositions some of the preposition should be omitted and the other used wrongly what are they?

Yes, we cannot just isolate your prepositions, Emily. They are an intrinsic part of the overall sentence structure...which is not so good. I can underline some that are obviously incorrect as they stand:

I know it is not correct I need to correct the wrong preposition or omite the one which it should to omitted or add preposition in the place that should have one.
I know all these paragraphs is written in wrong way but my focus is just on prepositions
