@ShadowLegendX

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Do you know what prepositions are?

OpenStudy (ryguy):

dewd a preposition is describing where something is in a matter of shorter words instead of being exact. so like next to or above would be prepostitions

OpenStudy (ryguy):

so where in the sentence is it describing WHERE something might be?

OpenStudy (gamer56):

D ?

OpenStudy (ryguy):

yep :)

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Yep!!!! You got it:)

OpenStudy (gamer56):

@RyGuy so would this one be D ? Which words make up the prepositional phrase in this sentence? Between the dry rocks scurried what I think was a small green lizard. A. scurried what B. a small green lizard C. I think was D. Between the dry rocks

OpenStudy (ryguy):

thats right :)

OpenStudy (gamer56):

So would this be C or D? Which words make up the prepositional phrase in this sentence? The foghorn across the bay sounded especially loud this morning. A. sounded especially loud B. this morning C. The foghorn D. across the bay

OpenStudy (ryguy):

well the foghorn or "the" are not places in a short tense. that is using it in a specific term. if it is capitalized as a place, it is a noun. if it is less specific, like "over there" then it would be a preposition. so does that help at all?

OpenStudy (gamer56):

yup so D? right

OpenStudy (ryguy):

thats right :)

OpenStudy (gamer56):

This is B correct?? Which words make up the prepositional phrase in this sentence? Betsy or Janet, please hang the camping lantern from the iron hook. A. Betsy or Janet B. the camping lantern C. from the iron hook D. please hang

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

OpenStudy (ryguy):

OpenStudy (ryguy):

OpenStudy (ryguy):

"from"

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

If you have your prepositions down, you should be able to do it. It's C, because. "from" is a preposition:)
