Prepositions •Prepositions do not stand alone in a sentence. They “join” with other words to make a PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE.
•A prepositional phrase is made up of a preposition, an object (noun/pronoun), plus any words that modify the object.
• IN THE MALL• ON THE WALL
![Page 29: Parts of Speech](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681639b550346895dd494b9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Prepositions FUNCTION:•Prepositional phrases act like adjectives or adverbs—they DESCRIBE.
• Along the beach• Under the table
•After the preposition, ask, “What?” to find the object.
• In the morning• To the doctor• I will get a drink of water.
![Page 30: Parts of Speech](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681639b550346895dd494b9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Examples Underline the preposition in each
phrase, circle the object, highlight the modifiers:
Along the beach Under the table Beneath the beautiful yet aged face In her own time After the close game

NOTE: A preposition is always followed by an object; if there is no object, the word is an adverb, not a preposition.
Example:Turn at the light before Walmart.
Natasha never played soccer before.
![Page 32: Parts of Speech](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681639b550346895dd494b9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Conjunctions“Conjunction, junction, what’s your function?”
![Page 37: Parts of Speech](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681639b550346895dd494b9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Conjunctions Conjunctions are CONNECTING words.
They join together different clauses, phrases, and ideas in a sentence.
There are four main types of conjunctions: Coordinating Conjunctions Subordinating Conjunctions Correlative Conjunctions Conjunctive Adverb
![Page 38: Parts of Speech](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681639b550346895dd494b9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Coordinating Conjunctions Coordinating Conjunctions are
connectives that join elements of equal rank (and, but, or, for, nor, so, yet, while).
Coordinating conjunctions can join anything of equal rank. Clauses Phrases Ideas
Clause: I love watching football, but I would prefer to play.
Ideas: I love football and basketball.
ForAndNorButOrYetSo
![Page 39: Parts of Speech](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681639b550346895dd494b9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Coordinating Conjunctions Equal rank= they can join independent
clauses, ONLY when preceded with a comma.
Practice:
I wanted to play outside but it was raining.
Apples and oranges are my favorite fruits.
![Page 40: Parts of Speech](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681639b550346895dd494b9/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Subordinate ConjunctionsAKA “subordinators”
Subordinating Conjunctions connect clauses that are not equal in rank – that is, in sentences which one idea is made subordinate to another.
These subordinate clauses are also called dependent clauses because they cannot stand alone. Common subordinators are as follows:
After Before In order Until
Although Even if Once When
As Ever since Since Whenever
Because If Unless Wherever
While That
![Page 41: Parts of Speech](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681639b550346895dd494b9/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Subordinators (cont.) Use a comma when a subordinator is
used for an introductory clause. You do not need to use a comma if the
clause comes at the end of the sentence.
Examples:
When we get home, I will take out the trash.
Mom said I had to because it was causing the house to smell.
![Page 42: Parts of Speech](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681639b550346895dd494b9/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Correlative Conjunctions Correlative Conjunctions are also used
to connect equal parts of sentences. These paired conjunctions (both/and, either/or, neither/nor, not only/but also) actually work as one.
Example:
Not only are we going to St. Louis to watch the game, but we are also going to visit the zoo.
![Page 43: Parts of Speech](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681639b550346895dd494b9/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Conjunctive Adverbs Conjunctive Adverbs are other connective or
transitional words. The most common are:
Conjunctive adverbs must be preceded by a semi-colon (;) and followed by a comma.
Accordingly Certainly Furthermore Otherwise

Jack loved Jill; nevertheless, he didn’t need help carrying the water up the hill.
