Preposition and postposition wikipedia , lookup
Prepositions A preposition is a word (or group of words) that shows the relationship between its object (a noun or pronoun that follows the preposition) and another word in the sentence. The subject in the sentence does the verb- the object in the sentence is still a noun, but the verb is done to it… OR it is not the main noun in the sentence Examples: over/ under/ beside/ with/ to Underline the adjectives, circle the verbs, box out the nouns, and double underline the prepositions. List the subject, the verb, and the object under each copied sentence. The black cat walked under the chair. Subject Verb Object He stood in front of Safeway. Subject Verb Object The box is on top of the desk. Subject Verb Object The brown fox jumped over the fence. Subject Verb Object The dog was running over the bridge. Subject Verb Object There are three kinds of prepositions… 1- Simple (just one word): at/ in/ on/ of/ to 2- Compound (two words as one): within/ underneath/ outside/ without/ underfoot 3- Phrasal (more than one word working as one preposition): on top of/ together with/ by means of/ in back of/ on behalf of/ in between NOTE: the first pronoun or noun following a preposition is its object. Ex. The bug was clinging to the girl’s upper lip.
