Prepositional Phrase
• A prepositional phrase begins with a
preposition and ends with a noun or a
pronoun. That noun or pronoun is
called the object of the pronoun.
• Example: after dinner
•

•
After is the preposition
Dinner is the object of the preposition
After dinner is the prepositional phrase
Nothing Important is in the Prepositional
Phrase AKA “The Junk Bubble”
• Prepositional phrases will not be the subject or verb of the
sentence.
• You circle your prepositional phrases in green and underline
the preposition in green in color coding.
• Finding prepositional phrases makes it easier to find who or
what the sentence is about and what they did.
Watch Out!
• Sometimes the word “to” will come
before a verb. TO+VERB is an
infinitive. Not a prepositional phrase.
• “The verb means action, something
done, to read, to write, to jump, to
run.”
