PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE

Can't say anything now. Don't know what to say....... ㅠㅠ

>>>Definition: Prepositions are the words that indicate location. At the minimum, a prepositional phrase will begin with a preposition and end with a noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause, the "object" of the preposition.


>>>The Pattern



  • Noun: is words that identify the whos, wheres, and whats in language. Nouns name people, places, and things.
  • Gerund: Every gerund, without exception, ends in ing. Gerunds are not, however, all that easy to identify. The problem is that all present participles also end in ing. What is the difference?
    Gerunds function as nouns. Thus, gerunds will be subjects, subject complements, direct objects, indirect objects, and object of preposition.
  • Pronoun: is often defined as a word which can be used instead of a noun.  For example, instead of saying John is a student, the pronoun he can be used in place of the noun John and the sentence becomes He is a student.
  • Clause:  Clauses come in four types: main [or independent], subordinate [or dependent], adjective [or relative], and noun. Every clause has at least a subject and a verb.
  • Modifiers: are words, phrases, or clauses that provide description in sentences

>>>Here are some Prepositional Words


PS: *But (look at the table) >>> But is very seldom as preposition. When it is used as a preposition, But means the same as except. Example, "Everyone ate cow meats but Amy."
But usually functions as coordinating conjunction. (kata BUT, sangat jarang digunain sebagai preposition. Kalau kata tersebut dipake, artinya akan sama seperti except. contoh: "Semua orang memakan daging sapi kecuali Amy." But biasanya berfungsi sebagai  coordinating conjuction.)


>>>Examples

1. Under the warm blanket
Under = Preposition; The,Warm = Modifiers; Blanket = Noun.

2. At school
At = Preposition; School = Noun

3. Baekhyun is being with me.
With = Preposition; me = Pronoun

4. They swam in the swimming pool at school.
In = Preposition; The = Modifier; Swimming pool = gerund


What else?? Just make the sentence by your self.............. GOOD LUCK!!! :-D
