Lesson Planning of Prepositional Phrases

Subject English

Grade 6th


Students’` Learning Outcomes

  • Use some prepositional phrases.

Information for Teachers

  • Read the following sentences:

  1. (i)  (A) He is ill. (b) He still works.
  2. (ii) In spite of his illness, he works.
  3. (iii) (a) He made a promise. (b) He kept it also.
  4. (iv) Besides making a promise, he kept it.

  • In sentence (ii) ‘in spite of’ and in sentence (IV) ‘besides making’ are groups of words beginning with a Prepositional Phrase and act as a unit other than a Noun Phrase, an Adjective Phrase or Adverb Phrase. Such Phrases are called Prepositional Phrases.
  • Prepositional phrase is a group of words that begins with a preposition. It tells where or when an action takes place.
  • Note: that the prepositional phrase contains no verbs. Generally, they contain a gerund. The noun or pronoun is the object of the preposition e.g. in the air, on the bus, against the wall, through the pipe.
  • Note: Some Adjective Phrases and Adverbial Phrase also begin with a Preposition. But such an adjective Phrase qualifies a noun and such an Adverb Phrase modifies a verb, Adjective or another Adverb, while a purely Prepositional Phrase keeps its main force on Preposition construction. However, in a broader sense, Prepositional Phrases include Adjective Phrase beginning with a Preposition, Adverb Phrase beginning with a Preposition and a purely Prepositional Phrase with its main force on Preposition.
