Phrases!A phrase is a group of related words that does not include a subject or verb. (If it did contain a subject and verb, it would be called a CLAUSE!)Prepositional phrases begin with a preposition and typically answer the questions “when” or “where.”
Ernest Hemingway was fond of prepositional phrases:
The hills
across the valley
of the Ebro were long and white. On this side there was no shade and no trees and the station was between two lines of rails in the sun. Close
against the side
of the station
there was the warm shadow
of the building
and a curtain, made
of strings
of bamboo beads
, hung
across the open door
into the bar
, to keep out flies. The American and the girl
with him
sat
at a table
in the shade
,
outside the building
. It was very hot and the express
from Barcelona
would come
in forty minutes
. It stopped
at this junction
for two minutes and went
on
to Madrid. Slide6
Prepositional phrases add detail to a sentence. Even though prep phrases contain nouns, a prepositional phrase will NEVER contain the subject of the sentence. Neither of these cookbooks contains the recipe for Manhattan-style squid eyeball stew. Neither
of these cookbooks
contains
the recipe
for Manhattan-style squid eyeball stew. Tommy, along with the other students, breathed a sigh of relief when Mrs. Higginbottom postposted the exam. Tommy, along with the other students, breathed a sigh of relief when Mrs. Higginbottom postposted the exam.Slide7
Where’s the preposition at?!? You may have heard that ending a sentence with a preposition is a no-no. That’s true. You should change “Who are you going with?” to “With whom are you going? However…when changing it results in something really awkward, don’t do it! Like this famous quotation from Winston Churchill:
“That is nonsense up with
which I will not put.”
