  1. Prepositions, Conjunctions, and Interjections

  2. A preposition is a word that shows a relationship between a noun or pronoun and some other word in a sentence. Art N/Sub V (Prep Art N/Objof Prep) The cat sat in the tree.

  3. The preposition in shows the relationship between the cat and the tree. In the sentences below, notice how each preposition expresses a different relationship between the cat and the tree. The cat sat near the tree. The cat sat behind the tree. The cat sat under the tree. Where is the cat in relationship to the tree?

  5. A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition, its object, and any modifiers of the object. The object of the preposition is the noun or pronoun following the preposition. Art N/Sub HV MV Prep Art Adj N/Obj of Prep The cat was rescued by the fire department. Prepositional Phrase

  6. A preposition may have a compound object made up of two or more nouns or pronouns joined by and or or, as shown below. N/Sub V Adj N/DO Firefighters run many drills Prep N/Obj of Prep Conj N/Obj of Prep about fires and emergencies. Compound Object

  8. A Prepositional phrase is always related to another word in a sentence. It modifies the word in the same way an adjective or adverb would.

  9. An adjective phraseis a prepositional phrase that modifies a noun or pronoun. Like an adjective, a prepositional phrase can tell which one, how many, or what kind. N What kind of job? Firefighters perform several jobsin emergency services. Adjective/Prepositional Phrase N Which one? The firefighter in the station is the Chief. Adjective/Prepositional Phrase

  10. An adverb phraseis a prepositional phrase that modifies a verb, an adjective, or an adverb. Like an adverb, a prepositional phrase can tell where, when, how, why, or to what extent. HV HVMV Where? Fire fighters can be found in all states. Verb Phrase Adv How? Fire fighters train constantly with their equipment. Adj When? Fire fighters are brave at all times.

  11. Conjunctions A conjunction is a word used to join words or groups of words. Different kinds of conjunctions are used in different ways. A coordinating conjunction connects words used in the same way. The words joined by a conjunction can be subjects, object, predicates, or any other kind of sentence parts.

(But connects the two sentences and contrast the jobs the fire fighters and police officers do) Use orornor to introduce a choice. Police officers or fire fighters can provide emergency services. (Or introduces a choice of emergency responders)

  13. Correlative Conjunctions are pairs of words that connect words used in the same way. Like coordinating conjunctions, correlative conjunctions can join subjects, objects, predicates, and other sentence parts. Correlative Conjunctions Fire fighters not only put out fires but also provide first aid to victims. Common Correlative Conjunctions: both…and; either…or; not only…but also; neither…nor; whether…or
