Students learn that a preposition links a noun or pronoun to the rest of the sentence, and that a prepositional phrase (such as under the bridge or after lunch) adds detail about where, when or how. They find prepositions, decide what each phrase tells the reader, choose precise prepositions and expand plain sentences with phrases, then write a descriptive paragraph.
