Part 2: Prepositions and Prepositional Phrases Prepositions indicate three things in their definition. 1. 2. 3. Use four common prepositions in a sentence. Circle the preposition. Underline the ph 1. 2. 3. 4.

Prepositions are words that typically indicate relationships between other words or elements in a sentence. They often show:<br /><br />1. **Location** - where something is in relation to something else (e.g., "on," "in," "under").<br />2. **Time** - when something happens (e.g., "before," "after," "during").<br />3. **Direction or Movement** - the direction in which something moves (e.g., "to," "from," "toward").<br /><br />Here are four sentences using common prepositions, with the prepositions circled and the prepositional phrases underlined:<br /><br />1. The cat sat \(\underline{\text{on the mat}}\).<br /> - Preposition: \( \text{on} \)<br /><br />2. She will arrive \(\underline{\text{before noon}}\).<br /> - Preposition: \( \text{before} \)<br /><br />3. We walked \(\underline{\text{through the park}}\).<br /> - Preposition: \( \text{through} \)<br /><br />4.
