Prepositions
Prepositions begin prepositional phrases. A phrase ends with a noun called the object of the preposition. The phrase shows a relationship between a noun or pronoun and some other word in the sentence. A prepositional phrase is not needed in a sentence. You can remove it, and the sentence will still be complete.
Common Prepositions
about above across after against along among around As at before behind below beneath beside between beyond by despite down during except for from in inside into like near of off on out over past through to toward under until Up with within without
Be Careful
Never end a sentence with a preposition. This is called a dangling preposition. In order to be used properly, a preposition must have an object, therefore a preposition cannot be the last word of a sentence. ***** There is one exception. Some prepositions are also adverbs. If the word is being used as an adverb to tell - How? When? Where? To what extent? - it can end the sentence. For example: The sun shone above. Above tells where the sun was, therefore, it is an adverb and does not need an object.
Coordinating Conjunctions
A conjunction is a word that joins words or groups of words. And But Or Yet So For Nor
Correlative Conjunctions
You must use correlative conjunction in their pair groups. If you use not only you have to use but also later in the sentence, etc.
If the list has only two items, do not use a comma. For example: Rick and Steve made a snowman. If the list has more than two items, use commas between each item, but not after the last item. For example: Rick, Steve, and George made a snowman. If you are joining two sentence, you must use a comma before the conjunction. For example: Rick and Steve made a snowman, and George was jealous.
Interjections
Interjections are words that are used to show emotion. An interjection has an exclamation point or comma after it. The interjection can stand alone; it does not need to be in a complete sentence. Although a complete sentence usually follows it.
Example Interjections
Wow! That is a big dog! Aha! I caught you! Oops! I didnt mean to do that. Ouch! That hurt! Well, thats a wrap! Oh, one more example wont hurt.
