A Prepositional Phrase Poster to Support Grammar Lessons
Understanding prepositional phrases can be tricky for young learners. That’s why Teach Starter has created this clear and visually engaging prepositional phrase poster for primary school students!
This prepositional phrase poster breaks down this important grammar concept into two key phrase types: adverbial prepositional phrases and adjectival prepositional phrases. With clear definitions and examples, this resource helps students grasp the role of prepositional phrases in sentence structure.
Need a refresher on these two types of prepositional phrases? Here’s a quick review:
- Adverbial phrases modify verbs. They give more information about where, when and how the event happened.
- Adjectival phrases modify nouns. They give more information to create an enriched description of the person or object.
This resource is available as a full-colour PDF or editable Google Slides file. If your school has limited colour printing, we recommend printing in greyscale on coloured paper. You may even wish to enlarge the poster so that it really stands out when placed on your classroom bulletin board!
