Prepositions, Conjunctions and Interjections

2. Lesson One: Prepositions
Prepositions show a relationship between a noun or pronoun and some other word in the sentence.

3. Prepositional Phrases
Prepositional phrases contain a preposition, the object of the preposition, and any modifiers of the object.
The object of the preposition is the noun or pronoun that follows the preposition.
If a word that looks like a preposition is not followed by an object, it is actually an adverb, not a preposition.

subject verb phrase prep obj. of prep.

5. Lesson Two: Adjective & Adverb Phrases
Adjective phrases are prepositional phrases that modify a noun or pronoun. They tell which one, how many, or what kind. The phrase will immediately follow a noun or pronoun.
Adverb phrases are prepositional phrases that modify a verb, an adjective, another verb. They tell where, when, how, why, or to what extent. The phrase will immediately follow a verb, an adjective, or another verb.
