Prepositions Lesson, Grades 3-4: Prepositions & Prepositional Phrases

The cat is in the box. The cat is on the box. Two small words, two very different places. In about 40 minutes, students learn that a preposition shows how a noun or pronoun is linked to another word in the sentence, and that it often tells where, when or how. A prepositional phrase starts with the preposition and ends with its object, the noun or pronoun it links (under the stairs, during lunch, with a spoon). Words that describe the object are part of the phrase.
