Prepositional phrases worksheet for learning grammar, with interactive exercises to identify and use prepositional phrases correctly.

I will solve the prepositional phrases worksheet for you. The task is divided into two parts: Part A and Part B.

Part A: Circle the prepositional phrase and underline the word it modifies.

A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition (like "in," "on," "with," "through," "to," etc.) and ends with a noun or pronoun, called the object of the preposition. The entire phrase acts as an adjective or adverb, modifying another word in the sentence.

Let's go through each sentence:

1. Using GPS, we found our way to the hotel.
* Prepositional Phrase: `to the hotel`
* Modifies: `way` (It tells us *where* the way led).

2. I used a needle and some thread to mend the dress.
* Prepositional Phrase: `to mend the dress` (This is actually an infinitive phrase, not a prepositional phrase. "To" here is part of the infinitive "to mend," not a preposition. There are no true prepositional phrases in this sentence.)
* *Correction: This sentence does not contain a prepositional phrase.*

3. You can find the research book in the library.
* Prepositional Phrase: `in the library`
* Modifies: `book` (It tells us *where* the book is located).

4. The tabby cat crept slowly through the bushes.
* Prepositional Phrase: `through the bushes`
* Modifies: `crept` (It tells us *where* the cat crept).

5. The sophisticated woman in the red dress is my aunt.
* Prepositional Phrase: `in the red dress`
* Modifies: `woman` (It describes *which* woman).

6. On Friday, he told us he had won the lottery.
* Prepositional Phrase: `On Friday`
* Modifies: `told` (It tells us *when* he told us).

7. I found only dust bunnies and cat toys under the sofa.
* Prepositional Phrase: `under the sofa`
* Modifies: `found` (It tells us *where* I found them).

Part B: Circle the prepositional phrase and draw an arrow from the phrase to the correct placement.

This section asks you to identify the prepositional phrase and then determine which word it modifies by drawing an arrow. Since I cannot draw arrows, I will describe where the arrow should point.

1. My sister is the girl walking the dog in the red skirt.
* Prepositional Phrase: `in the red skirt`
* Arrow points to: `girl` (It describes *which* girl).

2. Use glue with a broken leg to repair the chair.
* Prepositional Phrase: `with a broken leg`
* Arrow points to: `glue` (It describes *what kind* of glue, though this is a bit odd grammatically; it likely intends to modify "chair").

3. They didn't see the man leave the building in the blue suit.
* Prepositional Phrase: `in the blue suit`
* Arrow points to: `man` (It describes *which* man).

4. The teacher gave to the students in the classroom the assignment.
* Prepositional Phrase: `in the classroom`
* Arrow points to: `students` (It describes *which* students).

5. I made sugar cookies for the neighbor with pink frosting.
* Prepositional Phrase: `for the neighbor`
* Arrow points to: `cookies` (It tells us *for whom* the cookies were made).
* Prepositional Phrase: `with pink frosting`
* Arrow points to: `cookies` (It describes *what kind* of cookies).

6. The little boy ate the cake in the red cap.
* Prepositional Phrase: `in the red cap`
* Arrow points to: `boy` (It describes *which* boy).

7. I discovered the wedding dress my mom wore in the attic.
* Prepositional Phrase: `in the attic`
* Arrow points to: `discovered` (It tells us *where* I discovered it).
