Sharp mind, indeed. Then what Ma’am if we paraphrase, we just simply

do we mean if we paraphrase? restate the original it’s not an evaluation
or analysis.
Good Grade 7.

B. MOTIVATION

(The teacher presents the

following pictures)

These are called prepositions ma’am.

Class, what do you call these

highlighted words? Are you
familiar with them?

Have you ever tried to use them in Yes, ma’am, these words are commonly
a sentence? used in a sentence.

Great, why do we use them? We use them ma’am to tell the time and
to indicate where a thing is located.

That’s good to hear you’re familiar

with prepositions which means
that you will take our lesson easy.

Yes, the word at, in to, by, over,

under, across, and between are
examples of prepositions there are
many more out there.

Precisely speaking prepositions

are words or groups of words used
before a noun, pronouns, or noun
phrase to show direction, time,
place, location, or spatial
relationships or to introduce an
object.

Let’s take a look at this example. Ma’am the sentence example is beauty is
Kindly read. in the eye of the beholder.

What is the preposition in the Ma’am the preposition is in.

sentence?

Exactly.

C. DISCUSSION
Now let’s go to the prepositional
phrase. If we say, a prepositional
phrase, what does it mean? Kindly
Ma’am, it says here that a prepositional
read.
phrase is simply a group of words that
consists of a preposition and the object
So prepositional phrase
of the preposition.
= preposition+ object
If we say object, it is a person or
thing that receives the action of
the verb. It is the who or what
that the subject does something to
do.

For example, Carl carried out the

trash.
  Carl is the subject: it is the
one acting and the one the
sentence is about.
 Carried is the verb: it is the
action being performed by
the subject
 Trash is the object: it is
‘what’ is the subject is
doing something to

Let’s look at another one:

They played the drums.
In this sentence:
What is the subject?
Ma’am the subject is ‘They’.
What about the verb?
Ma’am the verb is ‘played’.
And the object?
Ma’am ‘drums’ is the object
Okay, that is the object in the
sentence. Now let’s try to identify
the prepositional phrase in the
following examples. Kindly read Ma’am example number 1 is, the puppy
everybody. is on the floor.

In that sentence what is the

prepositional phrase? Where is
the puppy? Ma’am on the floor is the prepositional
phrase.
Very good! Next, what does our
example number 2 says? Ma’am example number 2, is he pulled a
box from his coat pocket.
Thank you, the question is where
did he pull a box? Ma’am, from his coat pocket.

Indeed, that’s what we call a

prepositional phrase.

Now let’s break down

prepositional phrases.

The first prepositional phrase is

an adjective phrase. If we say an Ma’am adjective phrase is a prepositional
adjective phrase, what does it phrase used to describe the noun or
mean? pronoun of the sentence. A preposition
as an adjective will answer the
Okay let’s take a look at the The question “Which one?”
example: She worked in the
building with the red tower.
The question is which one does
she work with? The one with the red tower!

So, the adjective phrase is ‘with

the red tower’, right? Yes ma’am

In this phrase what is the Ma’am red is the adjective word in the
adjective word? phrase.

True, an adjective is a word that

describes a noun or pronoun. For
example: old, smarter, tall,
doglike, fun, fast, yellow and the
like.

Let’s go to the adverb phrase. An adverb phrase is a prepositional

phrase used to describe a verb, an
adjective, or another adverb in the
sentence. A preposition used as an
adverb will answer questions such as
“How?” “When? “or “Where?”
For example, she wrote with care.
With care ma’am.
How did she write?

With care now, is the adverb

phrase.

Next example, John lee goes to

school often on his motorcycle. Ma’am often on his motorcycle.
How did John lee go to school?

So often on his motorcycle is the

adverb phrase, right? Yes ma’am.

That’s what we call adverb Very ma’am.

phrases and adjective phrases. Do
you understand now?

Okay, that’s nice to hear.

D. GENERALIZATION

In the Philippines weaving mat is widespread. The most colourful ones are

Waving mats take several weeks from the gathering of pandan leaves to
stripping, boiling and dying until the weaving stages. The quality of a mat is judged by
the softness and fineness of the weave as well as the elegance of the design.
Mats are also significant fixtures in Filipino homes. They are sometimes used in
