Prepositions
Those lovely prepositions (and articles)! 
Does anyone know any good link or any other stuff about 'how to use prepostions correctly'? You know that in my language there are no preposition at all, so it's always quite difficult for me to use them right - usually I pick up wrong preposition!
Some examples:
Will I pour water
a) to the tank?
b) into the tank?
Do I take
a) jeans off?
b) ball out of the box?
c) ball out from the box?
d) ball off from the box?
e) ball away from the box? (like... "take it away!")
Am I
a) in the school?
b) at the school?
etc..

You might find it useful to learn your prepositions in opposite pairs and possibly according to whether the relationship expressed involves motion or not (in vs. into):
in, out of in the box out of the house
into, out of into the building, out of the glass
on, off on the table, off the wall
onto, off of onto the platform, off of the sidewalk
in, out of in the box out of the house
into, out of into the building, out of the glass
