Understanding Prepositional and Pronouns: Contest Entry Details

This week’s focus is on improving understanding of prepositional phrases and pronouns. A prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun, while pronouns replace nouns and have antecedents. Students will apply knowledge through practical exercises, including filling in blanks and correcting sentences. Additionally, remember that the contest entry paragraph is due on Thursday, with required parental signatures. Engage with the readings "Seedfolk" and "Whirligig" to deepen your comprehension. Review homework and be prepared for submission.
