Prepositions

Michael stood ..... the other new students in his class.

Please let me know, ..... advance, if you are going to come over on the weekend. I want to make dinner for you and I will need some time to prepare for it.

No, that's ..... of the question! You are too young to go to a college party. You're still only a freshman in high school so, no, you are not allowed to go.

Would you believe that I had to go through an entire load of laundry to find my favorite shirt? Of course, it wasn't at the top of the pile. No way! It was ..... a huge pile of clothing - at the very bottom!

I just have to do the dishes and then I'll be ..... my way. I'll most likely see you in about forty-five minutes.

I know you don't want to volunteer this Saturday. However, it is ..... a good cause. Because of your efforts on Saturday, some homeless people will have food and a place to sleep.

I don't have a lot of tools ..... hand right now but I'm going home soon so I can pick up the necessary tools to do the job.

..... no means am I saying that you are at fault. I'm just saying that we all have to be more careful when dealing with customer complaints.

Do it ..... the sake of your family. They need you to be healthy so you should quit smoking for them.

"I don't want anyone to stray from the deadline. Everyone must submit their stories on time, ..... exception!" the editor told his reporters at the meeting.
