Answer:

the prepositions are:

To, up, under

Explanation:

A preposition is a part of speech that expresses a relation between nouns or pronouns in a sentence and another word in the sentence.

There are various types of prepositions:

prepositions of place: To, beside, at in

prepositions of time: before, after

prepositions of reason: because, for, though

prepositions of direction: To, from, over

prepositions of agency: with, by

prepositions of connection: to, of

prepositions of origin: from, of

From this, we can see that this sentence has various prepositions. Any word that tries to show a relationship between a noun and another word, we can now spot it out.

1. To in '<em>While my friend was counting to ten': </em>It shows the connection between the action counting and the noun 'ten'. It means that the counting was limited to the range of ten. in this context, the relationship it shows, is the extent of the counting.

it is a preposition showing connection

2. Up in <em>' I snuck up to my bed ': in this case, it answers the question where. </em>

<em>Question: </em><em>Where did I sneak up to?</em>

<em>Answer: </em><em>I snuck up to my bed.</em>

it is a preposition showing place

<em>3. </em><em>To</em> in <em>' I snuck up to my bed ' and  ''to hide under the covers': In this case, it shows the relationship between the sneaking and the bed.</em>

It is a preposition showing direction

4. Under in <em>'under the covers':</em> In this case, it shows the position of where the writer hid.

It is a preposition showing position
