They tell us where things are and when they happen(ed). Common Prepositions: To, From, For, At, Beside, With, Without, Of, Between, In, Out, On, On top of, Under, Over, Above, Below, Beneath, Through, Before, After, During See p. 515 in Writer’s Inc. for a list of prepositions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfExXGMX2JM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byszemY8Pl8 A prepositional phrase is a phrase that starts with a preposition (shocking, I know!). For the purposes of the SAT and ACT, prepositional phrases consist primarily of prepositions, nouns/pronouns, and adjectives. They do not contain verbs. See p. 515 in Writer’s Inc. for examples of prepositional phrases At my house During the movie Between you and me To my older sister *A prepositional phrase begins at the preposition and ends right before the verb (if there is one). The stack of books is sitting on the kitchen table. One of the stories on the front page of the newspaper discusses the upcoming elections in great detail.
