Prepositions • A preposition is a word that relates a noun or pronoun that appears with it to another word in the sentence • These sentences connect phrases together to help them make sense • For example: • Manny hid behind the dumpster. • In this sentence, “behind” helps connect the subject (Manny) and the object (the dumpster)

Practice Look at the following excerpt of a poem and tell me where the prepositions might be. I’ve heard it in the chillest land And on the strangest Sea- Yet, never, in Extremity It asked a crumb- of Me.

After, replace the preposition with another preposition that would make sense. • Her paint splattered above the sink, making a huge mess. • He threw his hat over the fence. • He sang near the stage. • Since the war, he hasn’t been the same. • She played outside.
Prepositional Phrases • Like we talked about with transitive and intransitive verbs… • There are such things as prepositional phrases • A prepositional phrase is a group of words that includes a preposition and a noun or pronoun • Example: near the tall, gently swaying trees
The Composition of a Prepositional Phrase • For a prepositional phrase, we have the preposition and the object of the preposition • This object relates itself to the preposition • For example: • On a fast break • Here, the preposition would be “on,” and the object of the preposition would be “break”
