  1. Prepositions Intro: Harris Khan Bones: Jae Choi Flesh: Jubi Lee Cardinal Sins: Youngseo Kim Carnal Pleasures: MinkunJuen

  2. Bones prepositions appears before a noun Ex) The book is in my bag Lists of prepositions about, above, across, after, against, ahead of, along, among, around, at, before, to, together, with, toward, up, without, etc

  3. Bones Adjectival prepositional phrases modify a noun or pronoun ex) Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown modify a verb, adjective, or adverb either

  4. Flesh “How” to use prepositions purpose is to tie nouns and pronouns logically to other parts of the speech. Use it into parallel to add the rhythmic value

  5. Flesh Without Prepositions The discoveries planets the solar system, stimulating renewed speculation other possible worlds throbbing life, are now drawing closer cosmic terms the world their discoverers.

  6. Flesh With Prepositions The discoveries of planets beyond the solar system, stimulating renewed speculation of other possible worlds throbbing with life, are now drawing closer in cosmic terms the world their discoverers.

  7. Cardinal Sins 1)Clear The Clutter. ex) Use beforeinstead of “prior to” Use now/nowadays instead of as for “at present”, “at this point in time”, “for the time being”, “in this day”…etc 2) “OUT” ALL VERBS. Replace a prepositional phrase with simple verbs: Use to believe instead of “to be of the opinion that” Use to examine instead of “to study in depth”

  8. Continues… 3) OBJECTION ! Ex) Not “Just between you and I use “just between you and me” 4) The Last Word on Prepositions. Ex) Not “This is the apartment I live in” write as “I live in this apartment” Not “Where are you at?” write as “Where are you?” • Exceptions: “What did you step?” You need to say, “What did you step on?”

  9. Carnal Pleasures Economy in phrasing (using paraphrase in short way) ex) BTW(by the way), BC(because), ASAP(as soon as possible), IRL(in real life), BW(between)

  10. Carnal Pleasures Do away with prepositions altogether, preferring to take the most direct tack possible. (Simply leave the words out, or use in different way) ex) 1. Wait for water small small. wait for the water for a little while. 2. Try look da sunset. take a look at the sunset.

  11. Carnal Pleasures Embrace evocative ones that stretch the grammatical frontier. (syntactic identity, becoming not just a preposition, a doorway, a means to an end, but end itself) ex) beyond the horizon, beyond the beauty, beyond work
