PREPOSITIONS

PREPOSITIONS A word that shows the relationship between a noun or a pronoun AND another word in a sentence

PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE~ A group of words that begins with a preposition And ends with a noun or pronoun Object of the Preposition~ Noun or the pronoun that follows the preposition.

PREPOSITIONS Used to describe location, time, or movement Suzie placed her books under his desk. When using pronouns as the objects of the prepositions use object pronouns. What are your object pronouns? Write them down!!! me **Rita described the book to me.

Compound Object An object consisting of 2 or more nouns or pronouns. Always use object pronouns in a compound object. Have you spoken to Suzie and them? I discussed the issue with her and him.

Avoid using a reflexive pronoun as the object of preposition when an object pronoun is needed. Mr. Bob stood between Tod and me. (correct) Mr. Bob stood between Tod and myself. (incorrect) When using ME in a compound object, make sure me always comes LAST.

Prepositional Phrases as Adjectives or Adverbs When a prepositional phrase is used to describe a noun or pronoun ~ it functions as an adjective. The books in our library are very new. Everyone from our school is fascinating.

A prepositional phrase that is used as an adjective is called an ~ Adjective phrase Always place an adjective phrase as close as possible to the word it modifies. The man in the blue jacket explained the budget. (correct) The man explained the budget in the blue jacket. (incorrect)

A prepositional phrase that modifies a VERB is called an ~ Adverb Phrase An adverb phrase can tell when, where, why, or how an action takes place. Carol went to the library. (where) She investigated until nightfall. (when) The librarian asked about her purpose. (why)

Remember: A Verb must always agree with its Subject Sometimes a prepositional phrase comes between a subject and its verb. Make sure verb agrees with subject and not the object of preposition. To help you decide whether to use singular or plural – mentally “cross out” the prepositional phrase. The plans for a new town hall are intense. A decision on these issues is necessary.

Conjunctions

Coordinating Conjunctions may connect: Two subjects Two predicates Two objects of prepositions Two simple sentences

Lou and Rick enjoy television. The shows amuse and relax us. I do not agree with him or her. They like tv, but I do not.

Correlative Conjunctions: ~ connect elements of a sentence … used in pairs (MUST BE USED AS A PAIR!) *Either… Or *Neither… nor *Whether … or *Both… and *Not only… but also

Compound Subject~ Two or more simple subjects joined by a conjunction By looking at the conjunction you will determine whether to use a SINGULAR or PLURAL verb.

If subjects are joined by: And Or Both … and Then the VERB isPLURAL * Terry and I enjoy debates. If subjects are joined by: Or Nor Either … or Neither … nor Then the VERB agrees with the SUBJECT CLOSEST to it. * Sue or Pedro has my notes. *Either a good argument or strong facts are effective.

Interjections A single word or phrase to express a strong feeling, such as surprise.

Common Interjections: AhGood HeavensOh, No AhaGoshOops HoorayPhewWow GeeHeyYippee GollyOh, MyRats

Use an exclamation mark after an interjection that stands alone. Hey! Isn’t that Jorge? Did you hear his last speech? Wow! Use a comma after an interjection that is used at the beginning of a sentence. Gee, I wanted to run for student council myself. Oh, don’t worry about that now. An interjection that stands alone usually suggest a stronger feeling than an interjection that is used as part of a sentence.
