- See the handout for matching prepositional phrases with their sentences. You need the hand out and a sheet of lined paper.
- You may work with a partner, and together you need to fill out only one copy and put both of your names on it.
- When you have finished, staple the handout and lined page together and hand them in to the top wire basket.
I’m giving you these choices for Sentence #1: -- Already done!
1. In their stalls in the barn, the horses pricked up their ears when they heard the goose hollering. (opener)
-- or –
The horses. in their stalls in the barn, pricked up their ears when they heard the goose hollering. (S-V Split)
-- or –
The horses pricked up their ears in their stalls in the barn when they heard the goose hollering. (middle – not as effective)
For this one, the prepositional phrase will not work as a closer, because it makes it seem that the goose is hollering in the horses’ stalls. It doesn’t make sense.
Choose one of the options above and copy it, then complete the other sentences on your own.
