What is a prepositional phrase?
A prepositional phrase is a group of words that
begins with a preposition
and
ends with a noun or pronoun.
There are two steps to find a
prepositional phrase in a sentence.
#1. Look for the prepositions-this is your beginning
#2. Look for the noun or pronoun-this is your end
Prepositional Phrases tell you the
where, when, for what and with whom
in a sentence
• The birds sat [under the trees] and searched [for food].
• One [of the girls] [in the new blue car] is my sister.
• [In case of fire], use the nearest exit.
• Barbara was walking [with John and me].

[At
[ our house]every
]
person[in the family]spends
one night weekly doing the dishes.
