Please tell me if there is any technique for learning the correct use of prepositions.
And ,its my request please make some corrections if I have made any grammatical mistake in the sentences written above.

I suggest you read this: How to use prepositions correctly?

Also, please note that the word 'excel' is a verb so your sentence should read 'How can we excel in placing prepositions correctly'?

By the way, how many of Alan's stories and materials have you read so far?

Hi Torsten,

This is the first time that I am getting an opportunity to talk to you.

Thanks a Million for considering my question.I want to thank you from my heart of hearts and to all the staff of yours who make such an great efforts that everybody gets whatever they expect from an honest teacher.I really solute to you and your dedicated staff who help all and sundry stundents and solve all of their queries till the student feels contented.I devote three hours a day on this site and believe me every day I get something new on the forum.Your forum has taught me how to practice for improving my language skills,and many other things also.I really like, when I get "reply notification"by the ESL Experts.Thanks a Million to all the ESL Experts.

Sorry,By mistake I put two verbs together.I have read a few stories such as "the language of sarcasm,sleep.praise,ups and downs,understanding, relaxation and the language of yes and so on.As far as,tests are concerned,I have taken around thirty tests securing 80% result so far.Please reply sir...

There was once a prepositions book with exercises that I found on the Internet, but I fail to recall its name. :( Though, I do recall some exercises were rather difficult.

Try looking for it; it's in PDF format and can be downloaded.
