INTRODUCTION
Language is a means of forming and storing ideas as reflections of reality and exchanging them in the process of human intercourse. Language is social by nature; it is inseparably connected with the people who are its creators and users; it grows and develops together with the development of society.
The First President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Islam Abduganievich Karimov speaking about the future
of Uzbekistan underlines that “Harmonious generation is the future guarantee of prosperity. It is our task, to prepare and teach professionally competent and energetic personnel, real patriots to see them in the world depository of science and culture. In this plan the national program about training personnel was worked out on the formation of new generation of specialists, with the high common and professionally cultured, creative and social activity, with the ability to orientate in the social and political life independently, capable to raise and solve the problems to the perspective1”
In order to implement the decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan № 2909, dated April 20, 2017 “On measures for the further development of higher education” and to introduce advanced foreign practice into the process
of teaching foreign languages, 26-27 October 2018, at Uzbek State World Languages University in cooperation with the U.S. Embassy in Uzbekistan was held an international scientific conference on “Enhancing Foreign Language Teaching in the Continuous Education” which was devoted to the issues and solutions of teaching foreign languages, improving language skills and the role of intercultural communication in their learning.
2 It helps to increase learners’ knowledge about foreign language by teachers. Learners have opportunity to take information about target language’s aspects (phonetics, grammar, punctuation) by learning culture of foreign countries.
The English language has attained an international acceptance due to globalization. Most of the learners need to write or speak English fluently and accurately in the general and academic domains. To use English effectively, it is important to master four language skills, namely (LSRW). Of
all the four language skills, writing is considered complex process and the most important skill for the second language learners to master. The ability to communicate ideas and information effectively through the global network is crucially dependent on good writing skills. However, second language learners are under pressure today in writing because the art of communication has become so complex in conveying their thoughts to a great growing number of English-speaking people. This is often true to those who undertake writing in English as they face difficulties in the use of prepositions particularly, of place, time and direction. The reasons behind this phenomenon are multifarious. One of the reasons for this is due to the student’s lack of understanding the context in using appropriate prepositions and they do not know which preposition to use.
The
subject matter of this course paper is to identify linguistic analysis of the specific features of prepositions which students find more difficulties in the use of prepositions of place and time because of their mother tongue interference.
As
Huddleston said that “Prepositions are the subtlest and a set of small words that are of a closed class in English language.”

According to this, the actuality of our research work is to understand how to use prepositions properly. And at the same time to gain knowledge about prepositions of time and place.
The
main aim of the present course paper is to identify linguistic analysis of the specific features of prepositions in English grammar. As a practical part of the course paper I was given special text about “High-tech crime-fighting toots.”
The
basic materials which were used while I prepared this work is grammar books and internet sources.
The
theoretical value of the paper is seen on the description
of the object of the research, on study of research works and analysis of collected materials.
The
practical value of the paper is that material and the results of the given research work can serve the material for the Theoritical Grammar, Lexicology, Text linguistics as well as can be used for practical lessons in translation and Discourse analysis.
Structurally, the present research work consists of four parts – Introduction, main part which consists of two chapters (theoretical and practical), conclusion and the list of used literature and sources.
