Prepositions 6th part of speech Definition • Prepositions show relationships between nouns or pronouns and other words in a sentence. Common Prepositions • Aboard, about, above, across, after, against, along, among, around, at, before, behind, below, beneath, beside, between, beyond, by, down, during, except, for, from, in, into, like, of, off, on, over, past, since, through, throughout, to, toward, under, underneath, until, up, upon, with, within, without. Common usage 1. Prepositional phrases generally contain the preposition and an object of the preposition; objects MUST be nouns. • Examples: – On Tuesday(on-preposition, and Tuesdaynoun) – To Texas (to-preposition, and Texas- noun) Usage cont. 2. In prepositional phrases, the noun may have modifiers. Example: -In the big bed (in-preposition, the-article, big-adjective, bed-noun) -To the grocery store (to-preposition, thearticle, grocery-adjective, store-noun) Important Rule! • Subjects and verbs can NEVER be found in prepositional phrases. ---Look for prepositional phrases; use parentheses to mark them; then, when you are looking for the subject and verb, it will narrow the search. – Example: • The boy (by the window) (on the other side of the room) was looking (over his shoulder) (at the pretty girl) (in the hall.)
