Okay well a preposition is a word governing, and usually preceding, a noun or pronoun that expresses a relation to another word in the clause. In this sentence the preposition is "in." The nouns/pronouns in the sentence are "we" and "morning." Can you figure out which word "in" is connected to?

OpenStudy (bizzeizzy):
