1 PARTS OF THE SENTENCE: PHRASES
PHRASE: a group of related words that lack a subject or a predicate (verb), or both. NOTE: A phrase cannot stand alone as a sentence, but is instead used in sentences as single parts of speech.

2 Prepositional Phrases …
…are phrases that begin with prepositions and end with nouns or pronouns These phrases can be adjectival or adverbial

3 REVIEW PARTS OF SPEECH To determine if a phrase is adverbial ask: When? Where? How? Why? To what extent? Adverbial phrases function just like adverbs and may appear anywhere in the sentence. For example: During January break, my sister works at a diner for book money. We’ve been waiting since yesterday for a ride.

4 MORE REVIEW To determine if a phrase is adjectival ask: What kind? How many? Which one? Adjectival phrases immediately follow a noun For example: The horse in the trailer with the rusted latch broke loose. The man in the yellow hat drove the blue car with the yellow stripes.

5 MORE terms to know! Object of the preposition: the noun or pronoun that completes a prepositional phrase. For example: ….on the wall. …over the bridge.
