Student Teacher Dialogue (2)

Teacher: So what do you know ......... prepositions?
Student: Well I know that they usually come ......... a noun.
Teacher: Very good. Which do you find the ......... difficult?
Student: If I had to choose one, I would ......... in.
Teacher: The thing to ......... is that in usually means inside a place or a position.
Student: I see. But what's the difference ......... in and into?
Teacher: Ah, you see "in" means you are there inside ......... "into" means you enter as: You go into the room.
Student: Another problem is I don't understand ......... there are two words sounding the same — T and one O and T double O.
Teacher: Good question. T and one O is the preposition and T and double O often means extra as in: This exercise is too difficult. And don't forget the third word also sounding the same — the ......... two.
Student: Oh, no two is ......... thank you very much!
