Checking in on prepositions!
Homework from last night: 1. before 2. of 3. to and over and of 4. above 5. on 6. with and with (this is tricky! These objects look like verbs, but they are gerunds in this sentence--verbs acting like nouns!) 7. over and to 8. to and during 9. along 10. at and behind
Does your prepositional phrase answer how, why, when or where?
Prepositional Phrases START with the PREPOSITION and END with the OBJECT (which is ALWAYS after the prepositions somewhere)
Another practice:

Now, remember the hints-- good test for some "where" preposition is to ask, "can a plane do it to a cloud?" or for whens--"when can that pilot fly that plane?"
For there, they're and their: substitute our for their. If it makes sense, you have chosen well. Substitute They are for they're. If it makes sense, you have chosen correctly.
Homework is to study (remember, you have lots of explainantions and practice in your packet, in your notes, and on the blog) for your grammar test. Finish Summary of Lesson 5 sheet (just the first page front and back--2nd page is for studying).
See you tomorrow! Get lots of rest.

Mrs. Moore,

Dear Mrs. Moore,
What do you mean by 'can a plane do it to a cloud'?
Thank you,
India
Dear Mrs. Moore,
A preposition can tell you why? Could you please give me an example?
Thank you,
India
a plane can go: to a cloud, around a cloud, under a cloud, about a cloud, through a cloud, near a cloud, between a cloud, over a cloud, next to a cloud, etc.. It is one way to remember SOME, but not all, of the prepositions which tell where. Doesn't help with time prepositions. Good question.
He was defeated because of his beliefs. This is an uncommon questions, but it is one. The most common are when, where, and how.
Hi Emily!
Yes. If you did not finish your notes during class and study hall, you should definitely finish them tonight.
Mrs. M
I did not finish my notes in class and i thought i was bringing home my ss book but it was really my math book. will the summery have the main ideas to it?
Mrs Moore,
If a prepositional phrase start a sentence, will it have to have a comma following or does the comma follow if the preposition is a suborbinating conjuntion????
Ben
Ashley, yes it will have main ideas in the summary, but you will definitely want to take notes on the rest of the chapter for your morning work
Ben, a comma will follow either a prepositional phrase OR a subordinating conjunction when each starts the sentence.
Ben, yes. A prepositional phrase will begin with a preposition, and then may have any number of articles, adjectives, or adverbs before the object (which will be a noun or pronoun or gerund) which ends the phrase. Be careful with the verb idea--watch that what you think is a Prep phrase isn't a dependent clause.
Thank you Mrs. Moore!

Ashley,
The capitalism worksheet --particularly at the bottom of the page, helps bullet point the benefits and down sides to free enterprise.
