More on prepositions:
A preposition isn't being a preposition unless it begins a phrase with a noun or a pronoun (and usually an article, and sometimes other words such as adjectives).
Examples:
The tables in the cafeteria get really messy. (This prepositional phrase tells which tables get really messy. It is adding information about the noun, so it is an adjective phrase.)
Jumping on the trampoline is great exercise. (This prepositional phrase tells what sort of jumping is great exercise. Believe it or not, "jumping" here is a noun, so the prepositional phrase is an adjective phrase.)
I hid under the trampoline. (This prepositional phrase tells where I hiad. It is adding information about the verb, so it is an adverb phrase.)

Please check the list of students who have checked out books from Ms. Dorsey's classroom library and have not checked them back in. Please bring back any books you have. I'd much rather get the books back than put your name on the fines list.
