Explanation:
We need to underline the
prepositional phrase in each sentence. A prepositional phrase starts with a
preposition (like *at, by, in, on, under, up, across, among, between*, etc.) and ends with a
noun or pronoun (called the object of the preposition). It often tells where, when, or how something happens.
Let’s go through each sentence one by one:
1.
Carol works at the bank.
- Preposition: *at*
- Object: *the bank*
→ Prepositional phrase:
at the bank
2.
The dog went into his crate.
- Preposition: *into*
- Object: *his crate*
→ Prepositional phrase:
into his crate
3.
I like sour cream on my baked potato.
- Preposition: *on*
- Object: *my baked potato*
→ Prepositional phrase:
on my baked potato
4.
The sofa is between two end tables.
- Preposition: *between*
- Object: *two end tables*
→ Prepositional phrase:
between two end tables
5.
My friend lives up the street.
- Preposition: *up*
- Object: *the street*
→ Prepositional phrase:
up the street
6.
I like to be among dogs.
- Preposition: *among*
- Object: *dogs*
→ Prepositional phrase:
among dogs
7.
We ran across the field.
- Preposition: *across*
- Object: *the field*
→ Prepositional phrase:
across the field
Now double-check:
- All phrases start with a preposition.
- All end with a noun/pronoun (or noun phrase).
- No extra words included (e.g., “I like” is not part of the phrase — only the part after the preposition and its object).
Everything looks correct.
Final Answer:
1. at the bank
2. into his crate
3. on my baked potato
4. between two end tables
5. up the street
6. among dogs
7. across the field
