12. Prepositional Phrases:
Prepositional phrases generally contain the preposition and an object of the preposition.
Objects of the preposition MUST be nouns.
Here are some examples:

13. ***RULE*** Subjects and verbs can
NEVER be found in prepositional phrases.
It is a good habit to learn to spot prepositional phases.
Use ((parentheses)) to mark them;
That way when you are looking for the
subject and verb of the sentence,
it will narrow down the search.

14. 1. Prepositions are not used alone in a sentence
1. Prepositions are not used alone in a sentence. Instead, they are the first word of a
