3 2. Prepositional Phrases Consists of a preposition, its object, and any modifiers of the object It will end with a noun or a pronoun EX Astronomers have made many discoveries about the galaxy.

Stars emit huge amounts of light. 4. For centuries, people have looked into the heavens. 3. Adjective Phrases When the prepositional phrase modifies a noun or a pronoun Look at the word the phrase is modifying. If that word is a noun/pronoun, the phrase is an adjective phrase. It tells which one, how many, and what kind EX The rock sample from the moon is 746 million years old. From the moon is describing the sample. Since sample is a noun, this is an adjective phrase. 4. Adverb Phrases When the prepositional phrase modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb Look at the word the phrase is modifying. If that word is a verb, adjective, or an adverb, the phrase is an adverb phrase. It tells how, when, where, how often, and to what extent EX Whales behave with great intelligence. With great intelligence is describing behave. Since behave is a verb, this is an adverb phrase. 5. PRACTICE Underline the prepositional phrase once. Underline the word it modifies twice.

Participles It is a verb form (-ing or ed) that is used as an adjective It is not an action verb! EX- The thrashing winds of the tropical storm damaged our city park. Thrashing is describing winds. Damaged is a verb it is the action, therefore, not a participle. 4
5 Underline the participle in each of the sentences.

EX I like playing baseball. Playing baseball is the gerund phrase. 5
6 2. Direct Objects Receives the action or shows the result of the action It answers the question What or Whom about the verb EX Paul built a doll house for Hailey. House is the direct object because it receives the action, built (verb), by Paul (subject). What did Paul build? A House (direct object) 3. Indirect Objects There must be a direct object in order for there to be an indirect object It answers the questions to whom or for whom is the action done EX Susan gave me the report.
