Teaching Grammar - Prepositional Phrases
by Debbie Tipton
September 21, 2000

A PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE BEGINS WITH A PREPOSITION AND ENDS WITH A NOUN OR PRONOUN!

That noun or pronoun will be called the object of the preposition.

after dinner

after is the preposition
dinner is the object
after dinner is the prepositional phrase

PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES WILL NOT BE THE SUBJECT OR VERB OF THE SENTENCE.

After crossing out all prepositional phrases, find who or what the sentence is about.

The man with his son walked toward me.

PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES:
with his son
toward me

WHAT IS THE SENTENCE ABOUT?
man
 

**After finding the subject of the sentence, you must then decide what happened or what "is" in the sentence.**

REMEMBER THAT THE VERB WILL NEVER BE IN A PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE!

The man with his son walked toward us.

PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES:
with his son toward us

WHAT IS THE SENTENCE ABOUT?
man

WHAT HAPPENED?
walked

Hope this helps in teaching what prepositional phrases are.

Join me next week for Prepositional phrases with compound objects.

I am a stay at home mother of six children. This year, I have once again decided to home school some of my children, and I am really enjoying it. I have chosen this method for special  reasons to help my children and they seem to do so much better with the one on one and are really thriving this year. I am vey active in my church and have been elected to serve another year as Sunday School President. Life is busy at our house, but when we all work together, everything gets done and life is great. I enjoy writing and sharing experiences and concerns with others. I hope and pray that some of my works can be of benefit to each and everyone who stops by. Debbie
