Prepositions

Prepositions are words that show relationship between objects, people and events. They express
relationship in space and time.
Examples: across, along, in, by, against, to, for, and others

A Prepositional Phrase starts with a preposition and always has an object (a noun or a pronoun) after
it.
Examples:
along + the avenues
(preposition) + (object) = prepositional phrase

*Attached is the List of Prepositions.

its association with the modified word.

 My mother bought the one near the blue blouse.
In the first example, the phrase with red beads describes the noun bag while, in the second,
beyond the horizon modifies rays. On the other hand, in the third example, the phrase near the blue
blouse describes the pronoun one.

Prepositional Adverb Phrase describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.

Clauses
A clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb.

simple sentence.

because he was in front of me.
 Dependent or Subordinate Clause: It is incomplete by itself and needs to be attached to an
independent or main clause to make sense. It starts with a subordinating conjunction.
Examples: I could not see because he was in front of me.

Kinds of Sentences
Declarative Sentence
 It makes a sentence about a fact, makes a point, or states an idea.
Examples:
 He was twenty-two. (stating a fact)
 I had felt too weak to refuse. (making a point)
 She would perhaps never write back. (stating an idea)
Interrogative Sentence
 It is a sentence which asks for information and ends with a question mark.
Wh- questions: They require specific information. (what, who, when, where, why, how)
Yes-No questions: They are questions that can be answered with a yes or a no response.

Forming wh-questions
With an auxiliary verb
We usually form wh-questions with wh- + an auxiliary verb (be, do or have) + subject + main verb or
with wh- + a modal verb + subject + main verb:

Who’s been paying the

Be: When are you leaving?
bills?

Do: Where do they live? Why didn’t you call me?

Have: What has she done now? What have they decided?

Modal: Who would she stay

Where should I park?
with?

Without an auxiliary verb

Warning:
When what, who, which or whose is the subject or part of the subject, we do not use the auxiliary. We
use the word order : subject + verb:

What fell off the wall? Which horse won?

Who bought this? Whose phone rang?

How to form yes-no questions

A special word order (Verb Subject Object) is used to form yes-no questions.

Examples:
Affirmative Yes or No Question
School: Camp Crame High School
They are American
Address Are they
: Camp Crame American?
Compound, Quezon City
Telephone No.: 8654-6292
She is nice Is she nice?

The rules
3. If the sentence includes a verb which is not the verb "to be" and doesn't include a helping (auxiliary)
verb, the transformation is more complex.

a. If the verb is in the present tense, add either do or does and put the main verb in its base form:
 do if the subject is the first person singular, second person singular, first person plural, second
person plural and third person plural (I, you, we, they)

Examples:
I like apples. Do you like apples?
They go to a high school. Do they go to a high school?

 does if the subject is the third person singular (he, she, it).

Examples:
Nancy reads a lot. Does Nancy read a lot?
He hates basketball. Does he hate basketball?

b. If the verb is in the past tense, add did and put the main verb in its base form:

Examples:
He discovered the truth. Did he discover the truth?
She wrote a nice essay. Did she write a nice essay?
They did the homework. Did they do the homework?

EXERCISE 6: Tell whether the declarative statement is stating a FACT, making a POINT, or
stating an IDEA. Write your answers on the space provided.
