Prepositional Phrase Notes
1. Prepositions are not used alone in a sentence. Instead, they
are the first word of a
__________________ _______________ (a group of words
that begins with a preposition and is followed by a noun or
pronoun- person, place, thing, or idea).
* To find a prep phrase:
1. Find a preposition.
2. Ask “Who?” or “What?” after it.
ex. down the street
ex. before the game
ex. out of time
ex. with him
ex. near the tall, gently swaying, green grass
The noun or pronoun at the end of this phrase is
called the _________________ of the
_____________________. Mark phrase with( ).
If you see a preposition alone, it is functioning as an
_________________.
* There will be no answer to “Who?” or
“What?”
ex. We play behind the school.
ex. Leave your worries behind.
ex. My shoe had holes underneath in three places.
Don’t confuse a prepositional phrase with an
__________________ _________________
( the word “to” followed by a verb).
ex. I am going to the store.
ex. I am going to buy groceries.
ex. I like to shop.
Don’t confuse a prepositional phrase with a
__________________ __________________
(a group of words with a subject and a verb).
ex. Before school, I eat breakfast.
ex. Before I went to school, I ate breakfast.
***Remember that the Subordinate Clause will have a
___________ and __________ and the Prep Phrase will
only have a _______________.
A prep phrase(s) at the beginning of a sentence
should generally be followed by a comma UNLESS
the next word is a __________.
ex. Next to the barn the cows graze.
ex. Next to the barn is a field.
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:
Identify the preposition, noun, article, and adjective in the following:
• In bed
(in, preposition and bed, noun)
• To Texas
(to, preposition and Texas, noun)
The noun may have modifiers.
In the big bed
(in, preposition / the, article / big, adjective / bed, noun)
• To the grocery store
(to, preposition / the, article/ grocery, adjective / store, noun)
***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.
