Grammar Point
In this lesson, we will:
– identify prepositions used in the video
– observe how those prepositions used in the sentences
A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in a sentence.
Grammar patterns of prepositions:
– preposition + noun
– preposition + pronoun
– preposition + noun phrase
– preposition + noun clause
– preposition + -ing form (gerund)
It’s a peaceful place in the sky.
in the sky = preposition + noun phrase
Are you going to heaven?
to heaven = preposition + noun
“To” can be:
– an infinitive marker
– a preposition
If “to” is placed before a verb, it is an infinitive marker.
Example: I want to go.
go = verb
to = infinitive marker
If “to” is placed before a noun, it is a preposition.
Example: I went to his house.
his house = noun phrase
to = preposition
