  1. Prepositional Phrase (,)+ Independent Clause. Sentence Type #1 An Independent Clause is a simple sentence. A simple sentence has a subject, a verb, and it makes sense.

  2. Common Prepositions • of • in • to • for • with • on • at • from • by • about • as • into • like • through • after • over • between • out • against • during • without • before • under • around

  3. The Use of Prepositions • A preposition comes before an object, and usually creates a prepositional phrase. • For example, consider a box and a pencil. Where can you put the pencil in relation to the box? • “on the box,” “under the box,” “beyond the box,” “near the box,” or “inside the box”

  4. The Use of Prepositions • Can you remember the three types of relationships that prepositional phrases describe? • Temporal • Spatial • Logical

  5. Sentence Type #1 • Prepositional Phrase; use this to start the sentence. • Most of the time, the prepositional phrase will be followed by a comma. • After the prepositional phrase and the comma, provide a logical, simple sentence that completes the thought.

  6. Sentence Type #1 • Here are some examples: • After a long pause, the teacher continued. • With horrified attention, we watched the planes crash into the World Trade Center. • Under the table, Jenny played with her dolls. • In the park, the ducks waddled toward the pond.

  7. Sentence Type #1 • As a class, we will fill in the blanks: • After slipping down the stairs, ____________________________________. • With ___________________, the high school students ________________________. • ______________________, the team came back to win the game.

  8. Sentence Check: Got it? • If you get confused as to whether or not you have a complete sentence, there is a trick to figure it out.

  9. Sentence Check: Got it? • Take the beginning part, the prepositional phrase: • After a long pause, the teacher continued.

  10. Sentence Check: Got it? • …and do this: (Flip the sentence!) • The teacher continued after a long pause. • The comma goes away and becomes a period.

  11. Sentence Type #1 • You should now have the ability to write a sentence that begins with a prepositional phrase. • Remember the trick to check whether or not it is a complete sentence…FLIP IT! • We will create a sentence wall and the patterns will remain on the wall for the year.
