Prepositions and Prepositional phrases 

A preposition is a word that connects a word in front of it, and the object of preposition. The word in front of it is usually a noun or a verb; an is usually a word that describes the situation better. A proposition could be: 

  • At 
  • on 
  • in 
  • by 

    A prepositional phrase is a phrase that starts with a preposition. Since these are phrases and not complete sentences, these do not include the word in front of the preposition that it is connecting. ​

    Examples could be:​

    • At the table​
    • On the counter​
    • By the market​
    • For the cat

These are PHRASES and not complete sentences, so the word that the preposition is connecting is not included. Prepositional sentences are everything that I just stated put together. It contains the word the preposition relates, the preposition, and the object of preposition.  Some examples may be: 

  • The cat fell over the Rock 
  • The man waited at the bus stop 
  • The glasses are on the bedside table 

The Blue parts of the sentences are the word the preposition relates, the preposition, and the object of preposition. However, a prepositional sentence may include more than just one prepositional phrase. examples may include: 

  • The cat fell over the rock and into the pool 
  • The man slipped on the banana peel and hit her head on the cement 
  • The lady put her book on the nightstand on the left side of her bed 

Like the examples above, prepositions are used daily by tons of English speakers in their everyday life.

Indigenous Exploration Project Reflection

My experience creating this project was decent, however, we were not able to record in time in class due to us being last recording on Monday and our schedule busy or not being able to go to school so forcing us to record on our own. 

 

My group’s path in researching the topic was good. We found our information fairly easily but most of the sites for research did not have the specific residential school we wanted to research so we just decided to google our information instead.  

 

Some things I learnt during recording were how to use the tools and commands for audacity, for example, Ctrl–Shift–A to select the whole sound and how to connect them together. 

 

One of the aspects I value in first nation culture was how they considered everything about their environment. Nature, living creatures, their families, their culture, and even the next seven generations of their great great great-grandchildren and I respect them for that. Being aware of everything. Some of the things I value in my own culture are the importance of Jewelry like my necklace for example that I have been wearing for my entire life which is a jade pendant of the laughing Budda which is a symbol of happiness and prosperity.
