Wednesday, 10/23: Prepositions, Vocab, Alyce

“Prepositions, 10/23.” TIP: When you think you’ve found one, ask yourself, “____ what?” If the answer is not a noun or pronoun, it’s not a preposition.

  1. A prepositional phrase must always end with a _____
  2. A prepositional phrase will never have a(n) ____ in it. (Hint: Because then it would be a clause!)
  3. (3) Prepositions show ____, _____, _____.
    Write the prepositional phrases you find in each sentence. Each sentence has two. 
  4. The family of llamas camped by the lake because it was peaceful.
  5. I found an old photo of a toothless llama in the attic, and Mom made me throw it away.
  6. Llamas live in burrows and under bushes, and they are cute.
  7. Llamas have been used for transportation in many places, but that is not a llama.
  8. The llama mailed the letter to his grandma at the post office. (Bonus: What’s wrong with this sentence? LOL.)
