Preposition
1) My sister sat with my mother in the bus.
I think it should be 'beside' instead of 'with' and 'on' instead of 'in', but the word bank doesn't contain either of the preposition of my choice. Is the sentence with the preposition 'with' and 'in' correct?
2) When we got ready for dinner, I had to take my books from the table.
3) We take a trip down town last week.
4) The boat will take you across the river.
5) The street runs along the seafront.
6) I prefer to ride my bike to the hill.
Have I chosen the correct prepositions for the above sentences?
Thanks.
