\"flyA prepositional phrase is a group of words working as a team. The first word in the team is the preposition, and the last word is the object of the preposition.<\/p>\n

Let’s make sentences with the following prepositional phrases.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. with chocolate milk<\/li>\n
  2. across the river<\/li>\n
  3. at the edge of the forest<\/li>\n
  4. on roller skates<\/li>\n
  5. before midnight<\/li>\n
  6. in spite of the danger<\/li>\n
  7. behind them<\/li>\n
  8. to the end<\/li>\n
  9. into Canada<\/li>\n
  10. into the valley<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Thomas makes a tasty beverage with chocolate milk.<\/li>\n
    2. Let’s swim across the river.<\/li>\n
    3. I will meet you at the edge of the forest.<\/li>\n
    4. I always have fun when on roller skates.<\/li>\n
    5. We must return home before midnight.<\/li>\n
    6. The daring lad went into the jungle in spite of the danger.<\/li>\n
    7. Suddenly, they heard a noise behind them.<\/li>\n
    8. I will be with you to the end.<\/li>\n
    9. The plane flew across the sky and into Canada.<\/li>\n
    10. He walked into the valley.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
