2nd Quarter
I. Learning Competency: EN6G-llg7.3.1 EN6G-llg 7.3.2
Compose clear and coherent sentences using appropriate grammatical structures:
Prepositions and Prepositional phrases.
II. Content/Concept:
Prepositions show direction, position, time and, place (i.e., in, on, over, up, down,
to, with, above, below)
Prepositions can also show the relationship of one part of a sentence, or clause, to
another part of the sentence.
To show positions, direction, or a relationship, prepositions are written as
prepositional phrases
Prepositions introduce prepositional phrases (to the store, in the box, with my
friend)
Prepositional phrases help to add information and meaning to a sentence
