To solve this worksheet, we need to find the
prepositional phrase in each sentence. A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition (like *about, with, in, for, after, at, from, across, through, among*) and ends with the
object of that preposition (usually a noun or pronoun).
Here’s how to do each one:
1.
Can we talk about the pets?
→ Preposition: *about*
→ Object: *the pets*
→ Prepositional phrase:
about the pets
2.
I want to eat dinner with my friends.
→ Preposition: *with*
→ Object: *my friends*
→ Prepositional phrase:
with my friends
3.
My grandparents live in a very small town.
→ Preposition: *in*
→ Object: *a very small town*
→ Prepositional phrase:
in a very small town
4.
My sister wants a doll for her birthday.
→ Preposition: *for*
→ Object: *her birthday*
→ Prepositional phrase:
for her birthday
5.
After the dance, we will go home.
→ Preposition: *After*
→ Object: *the dance*
→ Prepositional phrase:
After the dance
6.
We will first stop at the bank.
→ Preposition: *at*
→ Object: *the bank*
→ Prepositional phrase:
at the bank
7.
You can buy a lot of good candy from this store.
→ Preposition: *from*
→ Object: *this store*
→ Prepositional phrase:
from this store
8.
Tyler is walking across the street.
→ Preposition: *across*
→ Object: *the street*
→ Prepositional phrase:
across the street
9.
Stacy couldn’t see through the window.
→ Preposition: *through*
→ Object: *the window*
→ Prepositional phrase:
through the window
10.
The family lived among the jungle animals.
→ Preposition: *among*
→ Object: *the jungle animals*
→ Prepositional phrase:
among the jungle animals
Now, for each sentence, you should:
- Underline the entire prepositional phrase.
- Circle the object (the last word or group of words that the preposition connects to).
- Write the object on the line provided.
Since the instructions say “Write the object of the preposition on the line,” here are just the objects for each:
Final Answer:
1. the pets
2. my friends
3. a very small town
4. her birthday
5. the dance
6. the bank
7. this store
8. the street
9. the window
10. the jungle animals
