Today we reviewed Grammar Lessons thus far:
Active and Passive Voice of Verbs
Italics
AND Started ... Prepositions/Prepositional Phrases
We wrote down preposition rules:
1. Prepositional Phrases act as 1 part of speech (ADJ or ADV)
2. Do not end a sentence with a preposition as prepositions take objects...the formula for a prepositional phrase is
PREPOSITION + words + NOUN/PRONOUN = Prepositional Phrase
We edited our Vocabulary Lesson 3 stories to notice the prepositions in our writing/revise to cut down on strings of prepositions.
Some students went to the computer pod to look at comments made on their papers on www.turnitin.com
