It can be describing that prepositions have an essential role in writing. In this case, EFL students must understand the use of prepositions, which will improve their writing and reading skills. The platform that is used for this research is from the Vice website's articles. This research aimed to examine prepositions of space in the Vice website that contains many articles using descriptive qualitative methods.
