Main Verbs A verb is a word that expresses action or a state of
being.
Slide 15
Action Verb Expresses either a physical or mental activity. Ex:
I have used a computer in math class. Please cook dinner, Jerome.
Fran understands the science assignment. The magician is thinking
of a number.
Slide 16
A helping verb (also called an auxiliary verb) helps the main
verb to express action or a state of being. Remember, a verb cannot
be a helping verb unless there is another verb for it to help. If a
verb such as was or had is the only verb in a sentence, it is not a
helping verb. Ex: Many students can speak Spanish. I will be
learning all the state capitals tonight. The dog should have been
fed by now.

know, merging it with text clues, and drawing a conclusion using
clues and pictures to figure out words and enhance meaning

nonfiction, and to reread to check for misconceptions. Making
inferences help us better understand the text. When you make an
inference, you better understand the text by: drawing a conclusion
surfacing a theme

Slide 86
A preposition always has at least one noun or pronoun as an
object. The noun or pronoun is called the object of the
preposition. The preposition, its object, and any modifiers, of the
object make up a prepositional phrase. The object of the
preposition follows the preposition.
Slide 87
Ex.: The pile of dry leaves had grown much larger. The
preposition of relates its object, leaves to pile. The adjective
dry modifies leaves. Ex.: He poured sauce over the pizza. The
preposition over relates its object, pizza, to poured.
Slide 88
Ex.: The flea collar is for cats and dogs. The preposition for
has two objects cats and dogs. Ex.: My big sister had to decide
between the University of Wisconsin and Carroll College. The
preposition between has two objects the University of Wisconsin and
Carroll College.

Some words may be used as both prepositions and adverbs. A
preposition has at least one noun or pronoun as an object. An
adverb NEVER does. To choose preposition or adverb, look for the
object
Slide 95
Ex. preposition: Clouds gathered above us. Us is the object of
the preposition above. Meet me outside the gym tomorrow. Gym is the
object of the preposition outside. Ex. adverb: Clouds gathered
above. There is not an object. Meet me outside tomorrow morning.
There is not an object.
Slide 96
A preposition shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun
and another word. A preposition is always part of a phrase. A
prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and ends with a noun
or pronoun- the object of the preposition. There may be more than
one object. Prepositional phrases may come at the beginning of a
sentence. Some words can be used as prepositions and as
adverbs.
