About this worksheet
A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition (in, on, under, beside, across, before, through) and ends with its object, the noun it points to: [under the table], [after lunch].
A phrase can sit anywhere in a sentence, and one sentence can have two: A bird [in the tree] sang [at dawn].
A worked example
The cat on the porch slept until noon.
- Find each preposition: on, until.
- Follow each one to its object, the noun it points to: porch, noon.
- Bracket from the preposition to the object.
Answer: The cat [on the porch] slept [until noon].
The common mistake
What it looks like: Bracketing only the preposition, or stopping before the object: [in the] drawer.
Why it happens: The preposition is the easy part to spot, and the phrase seems to end there.
How to fix it: Every phrase ends on its object. After the preposition, ask "in what?" and keep the bracket open until the answer: [in the drawer].
