Prepositions Mini-Lesson

What is a preposition? A word that shows the relationship of a noun or pronoun to some other word in a sentence. Remember it this way: Most prepositions are anything a squirrel can do to a tree! around a tree, below a tree, inside a tree, on a tree, through a tree, underneath a tree, within a tree

A huge list prepositions! Look on page 69 of your workbook for a list of commonly used prepositions. Copy down the prepositions on your own paper. This does count as a grade. Remember: if it’s in your notes, you can use it on the test!!!
