Prepositional Phrases

 For the past week, in our English program we have been learning prepositional phrases with Mr. Ach. At first I was really unfamiliar with the term but after a couple explanations from our beloved teacher, I understood what it meant. Basically, a prepositional phrase means a group of words consisting of a preposition, it may sound rough right now but after a few examples I'm sure anyone can understand. Here is a brief note that I put together in class that helped me understand better.

1. Adverbial prepositional phrase = tells when, where, how, or to what extent (how many, how much, how long, or how far), and under what condition.

modifies verbs (kata kerja)

ex = against all odds our team won

the tiger crept slowly over the grass

2. Adjectival prepositional phrase = they tell which one, what kind of, how many (in, with, on, about, under ) 

modifies nouns (kata benda)

ex = the area outside the boundary is dangerous to cross

all rooms below deck are for sleeping

And to make sure we understand perfectly, Mr. Ach assigned us a group work consisting 2 people to work together and make a dialogue. I got paired up with Kira and we had tons of fun creating this sleep- over-themed dialogue. Our conversation includes both adjectival and adverbial prepositional phrases, here is our dialogue! 

Kira = Hi Nasywaa! come on in, let's put your bags in my room.

Nasywaa = Hii thankyou so much Kira.

Kira = My pleasure! how are youu Nasywaa, you look so tired.

Nasywaa = Yaa oh my god, up until now I officially haven't slept in 6 hours. 

Kira = Huh how come, what were you doing up late?

Nasywaa = For many months I have been avoiding doing this specific project, so I had no choice than to do it overnight.

Kira = Ahh, alright I hope some face masks can calm you down. do you mind grabbing that kit from under the bed?

Nasywaa = Ohh sure Kira.
