PREPOSITIONS
A preposition is a word that relates a noun or a pronoun to some other word in a sentence.
Examples:
The dictionary on the desk was open. An almanac was under the dictionary. Meet me at three oclock tomorrow.

PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES
Introduction Activity: Write a sentence or two that tells where and when you might read a book. Share your sentences with your table. Underline the prepositions in the sentence based off of yesterdays lesson.
PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES
Now lets talk about prepositional phrases! A prepositional phrase is a group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun, which is called the object of the preposition. Examples:
Mr. Fromwiller has an almanac from the nineteenth century.
Preposition Object of preposition (noun)
PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES
Now go back to your introduction activity sentences and underline the prepositional phrase. Draw an arrow from the preposition to the noun/pronoun that is the object of the preposition.
Example: We met in front of the library at noon. In front- tells where Of the library- tells where At noon- tells when
PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES

PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES
Prepositional Phrases:
Can appear anywhere in the sentence- at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end.
Examples: At the library students examind the almanac. Students at the library examined the almanac. Students examined the almanac at the library.
PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES
Introduction Activity Read the sentence below. Tell what is wrong with it and then write it correctly. Lisas dog ran to Lisa, jumped on Lisa, and stole a cookie with Lisa. Remember back to our pronoun unit? We use pronouns to replace nouns to avoid using nouns over and over. Now that you have corrected the sentence find the prepositions and circle them. Then, Underline the prepositional phrases, and draw an arrow from the preposition to the pronoun in the prepositional phrase.
When a pronoun is the object of a preposition, remember to use an object pronoun and not a subject pronoun.
Example: Michael handed the dictionary to Sarah. Replace Sarah with object pronoun HER Michael handed the dictionary to her.
Sometimes a preposition will have a compound object consisting of a noun and pronoun.
Example: I borrowed the dictionary from Sam and Jacob. Replace Jacob with object pronoun HIM I borrowed the dictionary from Sam and him. How do you know to use HIM rather than HE?
Test it out- try saying the sentence aloud with only the pronoun following the preposition.
Confusing WHO and WHOM The pronouns who and whom are often confused. Who is a subject pronoun, and whom is an object pronoun.
Note how the pronouns are used in the following sentences: Who told you about it?
Introduction activity
Before starting todays lesson, lets learn a song to help us remember some of those commonly used prepositions!! Follow along singing to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle little star!
At, around, above, about Over, nearer, nearest, out For, becoming, after, through From, beneath, beyond, of, to Since, beside, between, by, at Off, on, up, along, into
Now that we reviewed some of the many prepositions that are out there, write FIVE sentences that have at least one prepositional phrase in each.
Prepositional phrases function as adjectives and adverbs in sentences. A preprepositional phrase functioning as an adjective describes a noun or pronoun.
These phrases usually come directly after the noun or pronoun it describes.
Example:
(underline the prepositional phrase, and then draw an arrow to the noun/pronoun it is describing)
Africa is continent with many natural resources. One of the articles describes Africa vividly. The wildlife of Africa is varied and abundant.
Describes an ADJECTIVE
Birds are exotic in color.
Describes an ADVERB
The Nile River flow west of Cairo.
Go back to the sentences you wrote at the beginning of the lesson. Now, exchange papers at your tables. Draw a line from each prepositional phrase in the sentence to the word being described. Day 4 Activity and Homework
Introduction Activity: Lets practice our song we learned from yesterday first! Now, I would like you to create FOUR sentences using the following words:
ABOVE OVER INSIDE BEFORE
For each sentence write the word or words that answer the question where? Or when?
Sometimes it is difficult to tell whether a word is a preposition or an adverb. Both types of words can answer the questions: Where? And When? as we just saw with our introduction activity. Several words are commonly used as prepositions and adverbs. These are the words you want to look at carefully when you see them!
Words that can be used as Prepositions or Adverbs about above around before below down in inside out outside over through
behind
near
up
Followed closely by a noun- it is most likely a preposition and it is the object of the preposition. A preposition will be followed by the prepositional phrase, whereas the adverb will not.
Preposition or Adverb?
Preposition OUTSIDE is followed by LIBRARY prepositional phrase: outside the library. We ate our lunch outside. Adverb OUTSIDE answeres the question where? But is not followed by a noun, which makes it an adverb in this sentence.
