Week #2: Prepositional Phrases

This week we are practicing prepositional phrases. A prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and ends with an object. The following sentences have at least one prepositional phrase in each. Some have more. The number after each sentence tells you how many prepositional phrases are in each. Each sentence is worth .25 making this activity worth 3 bonus points.
