UNIT THREE - Prepositional verbs Level B1

FASE-I

Prepositional Verb

A prepositional phrase is a combination of a verb and a preposition. It is just a verb followed by a

preposition.

Prepositional Phrase = Verb + Preposition

Some verbs need particular prepositions to be used after them in sentences having a direct object.
Such a verb with its required preposition is called a prepositional phrase.

For example
He knocks at the door.

In above sentence knock at is prepositional phrase which contains a verb knock and a preposition
at. Without the use of correct preposition after a prepositional verb in a sentence, the sentence is
considered to be grammatically wrong. For example if we say, he knocks the door, it is wrong
because it lacks the required preposition at. So the correct sentence is he knocks at the door.

Prepositional Verbs are transitive and they have a direct object in sentence. Some of the frequently
used preposition verb are, laugh at, knock at, listen to, look at, look for, look after, wait for,
agree to, agree with, talk about, talked to

Examples.
She is listening to music.
She looked at the blackboard.
We believe in God.
They were waiting for the teacher.
Do you agree with me?
Do you agree to my proposal?
Someone is knocking at the door.
You should not rely on her.

FASE-II

TRANVERSAL PROJECT ( BIOLOGY) - READING

What Was the Gemini Program?

Astronaut Ed White became the first American to conduct a spacewalk on Gemini 4.

Credits: NASA

This article is part of the NASA Knows! (Grades K-4) series.

Gemini was an early NASA program. It flew humans into space. Ten crews flew during Gemini. Their
missions were flown in 1965 and 1966. Gemini missions flew between the Mercury and Apollo
programs. Gemini helped NASA get ready for moon landings.

What Spacecraft Were Used for the Gemini Program?

On the outside, the Gemini spacecraft looked a lot like the one used for Mercury. It was bigger than
the Mercury capsule. It could hold two people instead of one. But each astronaut did not have much
room.

Gemini was named after a constellation. The name means "twins." This name was used because the
Gemini capsule would carry two people.

11
 __________________________________________________English Guide 2017.

What Happened on the Gemini Missions?

Gemini crews did many jobs. The new vehicle had to be tested. Astronauts had to learn how to walk
in space. Some missions stayed in space for a longer time. Other crews practiced flying near other
spacecraft. One of the last crews even connected to another spacecraft!

Why Was The Gemini Program Important?

Before Gemini, NASA had only flown in space a few times. The Mercury missions proved that
astronauts could fly in space. NASA had to learn what happens when people spend more time in
space. It had to learn how astronauts could go outside a spacecraft in a spacesuit. It had to learn how
to connect two spacecraft together in space. All of these things had to be done so we could go to the
moon. Before Gemini, NASA had not done any of them. Gemini proved NASA could do them all.
