Abstract :
This study attempts to explore the writing difficulties in prepositions of place (at, in and on) encountered by Albaha university students at preparatory year program. It also sheds light on the causes stand behind these difficulties. Fifty students at Albaha University enrolling in the preparatory year program were chosen randomly. They were given a twelve-sentence gap-filling test. Each sentence in the test includes a preposition in which students are likely to misuse. The students were asked to fill in the gaps with a suitable preposition. Also, the researcher employed a questionnaire as a tool of collecting data. The descriptive analytic method to investigate and handle this problem was adopted. The findings revealed the deficiency performance of the students in using the prepositions of place in the a proper way. The teachers attributed this failure to the interference of the mother tongue and the carelessness of the students.
