Where is it? We use position words to say where something is. Above means higher up. Below means lower down. The top is the highest place. The bottom is the lowest place. The middle is in between the top and the bottom.

Look at the shelves. The apple is on the top shelf. The ball is in the middle. The star is on the bottom shelf.

topmiddlebottom
The top, middle and bottom shelves.

Key ideas

  • Above means higher up.
  • Below means lower down.
  • The top is the highest place. The bottom is the lowest.
  • Right above and right underneath mean the next shelf up or down.
Worked example 11.1.1

Video lesson: In front and behindComing soon
A bedroom.

Some things sit in front of other things. Other things sit behind. In a picture, the shape that covers part of another shape is in front of it. The shape that is covered is behind.

In this picture the cube covers the star, so the cube is in front. The ball is further back, so it is behind the star.

The cube is at the front. The star is in the middle. The ball is at the back.

Key ideas

  • In front means nearer to you, or on top of another shape in a picture.
  • Behind means further back, or covered by another shape.
  • The shape at the back is covered by the others.
