Students will be introduced to prepositions and their corresponding objects on this worksheet. They are tasked with reading fifteen sentences, underlining each preposition, and circling the related object. An example sentence is given for guidance. Additionally, at the bottom of the page, students have room to create their sentence containing a prepositional phrase. In this section, they should underline the preposition, circle the object, and illustrate it with a drawing.
A preposition is a word that shows a relationship between other words in a sentence, often telling us where something is or when it happened. Common prepositions include words like "on," "in," "under," and "across." For example, in the sentence "Sheila ran across the pasture," "across" is the preposition. Everything that follows the preposition up to the next noun or pronoun is part of the prepositional phrase. So, "across the pasture" is the prepositional phrase. Within this phrase, the noun "pasture" is called the object of the preposition because it is the thing being described in relation to "across."
