Prepositional Phrases as Adjectives ELA-Literacy.L.5.1a

A prepositional phrase is a group of words beginning with a

preposition and ending with a noun or pronoun. The noun or pronoun at the end of the phrase is called the object of the preposition. Often there are other descriptive words between the preposition and its object.

Sometimes prepositional phrases do the job of an adjective. The prepositional phrase tells us which one. Example: The little boy in the red jacket is my brother, Henry. In the red jacket is the prepositional phrase. In is the preposition, and jacket is the object. Red describes the jacket. The entire phrase, in the red jacket, tells us which boy.

Underline the prepositional phrase in each sentence below. Circle the word it describes. 1. My favorite place to walk is the park across the street.

2. The wooden bridge over the muddy creek was built last year.

3. Those trees beside the lake are willows.

Prepositional Phrases As Adverbs ELA-Literacy.L.5.1a

A prepositional phrase is a group of words beginning with a preposition and ending with a noun or pronoun. The noun or pronoun at the end of the phrase is called the object of the preposition. Often there are other descriptive words between the preposition and its object.

Sometimes prepositional phrases do the job of an adverb. The prepositional phrase tells us how, when, or where the action takes place. Example: Throw the ball to your little sister. To your little sister is the prepositional phrase. To is the preposition, and sister is the object. Little describes the sister. The entire phrase, to your little sister, tells us where to throw the ball.

First underline the prepositional phrase in each sentence below. (Each prepositional phrase is used as an adverb to describe how, when, or where an action takes place.) Then circle the verb it describes. 1. I hid my sister‟s birthday present under my bed.

2. Matthew naps after lunch.

3. The tape stuck to my shirt.

4. I swam with the dolphins.

5. Anna rested beneath the palm tree.

6. The fisherman cast his line into the water.

7. The sky cleared after the storm.

8. Carlos dashed past the goal post.

57


A prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun.

Other words may be in between the preposition and the noun or pronoun,

which is also known as the object of the preposition. Some prepositional phrases are used as adjectives. They describe nouns.

Other prepositional phrases are used as adverbs. They describe a verb and

answer the questions how, why, or when. Example 1: I bought a book about fairy tales. About fairy tales is a prepositional phrase that describes the noun, book. The phrase is used as an adjective.

Example 2: I read the book after dinner. After dinner is a prepositional phrase telling when I read. Since it describes the verb, read, the phrase is used as an adverb.

Underline the prepositional phrase in each sentence below. Circle ADJ if the phrase is used as an adjective. Circle ADV if the phrase is used as an adverb. 1. Hansel and Gretel were lost in the dark forest. ADJ ADV

2. They scattered bread crumbs along the path. ADJ ADV

3. The witch in the candy house tricked them. ADJ ADV

4. The children escaped and ran to safety. ADJ ADV

Commas after Introductory Phrases. ELA-Literacy.L.5.2.b

• A prepositional phrase may come at the beginning of a sentence. A prepositional phrase that begins a sentence is also called an introductory phrase. • If a prepositional phrase that begins a sentence is four or more words, place a comma after the phrase.

Read the following two paragraphs. Place commas where they are needed.

In the year 1783 scientific progress met old-fashioned beliefs. On an otherwise normal day a group of French villagers got quite a surprise. Down from the sky a strange creature slowly floated. With pitchforks and other farm tools the villagers struck the creature. Under this furious attack the creature finally stopped moving.

To the eighteenth-century villagers the object from the sky looked like a monster. At the time of the monster‟s visit very few people had ever seen a balloon. From his science studies Professor Jacques A. C. Charles had learned that a newly discovered gas called hydrogen weighed less than air. When he filled a sack with this gas, the sack floated into the air. From the heart of Paris Charles had released his balloon and then watched as it floated away. In their attack the villagers destroyed the first hydrogen balloon.

Quotation marks surround some ironies (use with caution): Jamie is too “busy” to help me! My sister chums with a bunch of „girly girls‟. She says she “forgot” her homework. Commas and periods go inside of the quotations marks. Question marks and exclamation marks go inside IF they are part of the quote, if not, they will go outside the quotation marks.
