Prepositional phrases http://www. chompchomp

Before we begin the notes… Find the list of commonly used prepositions in the grammar book, and copy them into your notes. Memorize them! Just because it’s a good idea!

What is a prepositional phrase? a prepositional phrase will begin with a preposition and end with a noun, pronoun, gerund (an –ing verb), or clause, the "object" of the preposition.

What is a prepositional phrase? The object of the preposition will often have one or more  modifiers to describe it. These are the patterns for a prepositional phrase:

Patterns for prepositional phrases preposition + (noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause) preposition + modifier(s) + (noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause)

Huh?

preposition + (noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause) At home In time With me By singing About what we need

preposition + modifier(s) + (noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause) From my grandmother Under the warm blanket In the weedy, overgrown garden Without excessively worrying

Prepositional phrases can function as an: Adjective – answers the question: “which one?” The sweet potatoes in the vegetable bin are moldy. The note from joseph confessed that he had eaten the leftover pizza.

Prepositional phrases can function as an: adverb – answers the questions: how? When? Where? Freddie is sore from yesterday’s football practice. Before class, Beatrice begged leo for a pencil.

Check your comprehension: --write each of the following sentences, --cross out each prepositional phrase, --circle the simple subject, then --underline the simple predicate

A great part of our life is spent in sleep. The children ran into the street and screamed for help. They were assembled on benches for the presentation. The instinct of self-preservation is perhaps the most basic drive in living things. Yet lemmings, small animals in Scandinavia, occasionally follow a pattern of self-destruction.

Now it’s your turn: --write three original sentences using prepositional phrases. --cross out the prepositional phrases --circle the simple subject --underline the simple/compound predicate due before you leave today!
