  2. Prepositions • Prepositions begin prepositional phrases. A phrase ends with a noun called the object of the preposition. The phrase shows a relationship between a noun or pronoun and some other word in the sentence. • A prepositional phrase is not needed in a sentence. You can remove it, and the sentence will still be complete.

  3. Common Prepositions

  4. Be Careful • Never end a sentence with a preposition. This is called a dangling preposition. In order to be used properly, a preposition must have an object, therefore a preposition cannot be the last word of a sentence. • ***** There is one exception. Some prepositions are also adverbs. If the word is being used as an adverb to tell - How? When? Where? To what extent? - it can end the sentence. • For example: The sun shone above. • “Above” tells “where the sun was,” therefore, it is an adverb and does not need an object.

  5. Example Prepositional Phrases • The girl with the long brown hair sits near the windows. • Prep. Phrase 1- with the long brown hair • Prep. = with • O.P. = hair • Prep. Phrase 2 – near the windows • Prep. = near • O.P. = windows

  6. Example Prepositional Phrase • In the darkness of the night, a cold, creepy hand grazed my face. • Prep. Phrase 1 – In the darkness • Prep. = In • O.P. = darkness • Prep. Phrase 2 – of the night • Prep. = of • O.P. = night

  7. Adjective Prepositional Phrase • Adjective prepositional phrases are prepositional phrases that function like adjectives. They describe nouns and pronouns. • They answer the questions: Which One? What Kind? How Many? How Much?

  8. Example Adjective Prepositional Phrase • I drank tea with sugar and honey for breakfast. • Adj. Prep. Phrase - with sugar and honey • Prep. = with • O.P. = sugar and honey (compound O.P.) • This phrase describes “what kind of tea,” therefore, it is an adjective prepositional phrase.

  9. Adverb Prepositional Phrase • Adverb prepositional phrases are prepositional phrases that function like adverbs. They describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. • They answer the questions: How? When? Where? Why? How Often? How Long?

  10. Example Adverb Prepositional Phrase • The student closed the book with a clatter. • Adverb Prep. Phrase – with a clatter • Prep. = with • O.P. = clatter • This phrase describes “how the book was closed,” therefore, it is an adverb prepositional phrase.

  11. Coordinating Conjunctions • A conjunction is a word that joins words or groups of words. • And • But • Or • Yet • So • For • Nor

  12. Correlative ConjunctionsYou must use correlative conjunction in their pair groups. If you use “not only” you have to use “but also” later in the sentence, etc. • Not only • Both • Neither • Either • Whether • But Also • And • Nor • Or • Or

  13. Rules for Conjunctions and Commas • If the list has only two items, do not use a comma. • For example: Rick and Steve made a snowman. • If the list has more than two items, use commas between each item, but not after the last item. • For example: Rick, Steve, and George made a snowman. • If you are joining two sentence, you must use a comma before the conjunction. • For example: Rick and Steve made a snowman, and George was jealous.

  14. Example Conjunction Joining Words • Sheila, Suzy, and Shannon ran, jumped, and fell over the fence. • “And” joins Sheila to Suzy and Shannon (nouns). • “And” joins ran to jumped and fell (verbs).

  15. Example Conjunction Joining Groups of Words • After recess but before the end of the day we need to put together the Wednesday folders. • “But” joins the prepositional phrases “after recess” and “before the end”. • They brushed their teeth, and then they went to bed. • “And” connects the two complete sentences: They brushed their teeth. Then they went to bed.

  16. Interjections • Interjections are words that are used to show emotion. • An interjection has an exclamation point or comma after it. The interjection can stand alone; it does not need to be in a complete sentence. Although a complete sentence usually follows it.

  17. Example Interjections • Wow! That is a big dog! • Aha! I caught you! • Oops! I didn’t mean to do that. • Ouch! That hurt! • Well, that’s a wrap! • Oh, one more example won’t hurt.
