By: Harrison JaminSlide2
What Is A Prepositional Phrase?A prepositional phrase usually consists of a preposition and a noun(object).So, the basic formula is: Preposition + object.Example: In the house.However, a prepositional phrase can also contain a modifier(an adjective).So, this formula would be: preposition+modifier+object.Example: In the large, spacious house.Slide3
Prepositional Phrases: Ablative CaseThe same rule used in English applies to Latin. (prep. + object) or (prep. + Modifier + object)An example of a prepositional phrase in the ablative case is: Ex arbore cadit (He falls out of the tree)Tip: Ex can be written as E if the next word begins with a consonant. Example: E ramis (out of the branches)Here is an example of an ablative prepositional phrase with a modifier.In magna villa
sedet

Prepositional Phrases: Accusative CaseThe accusative case contains nouns that receive verbs(direct objects).An example of an accusative prepositional phrase is: In villam currit.Here is one with a modifier: In magnam villam currit.Slide5
How To Tell the DifferenceAccusative prepositional phrases will contain prepositions like “into” or “toward”. These all are actions that a noun receives.Ablative prepositional phrases will contain prepositions like “in”, “under”, or “out of”. The words in these phrases are usually adverbs and the noun does not directly receive them.Try to identify which phrases are ablative and which are accusative in the following example:Slide6
