Prepositional Pharases

Alohaaaa guys,kembali lagi nih di blog ane yang agak aneh tapi unik sekaligus gak kalah saing dengan blog-blog papan atas lainnnya hahhaha.Sempet down nih gara-gara modem ane yang kadang ngandat,makanya baru sekarang topik terbaru di semester 1 ini bisa terbit dengan sukses Dan kali ini ane punya topik yamg pas banget buat ente-ente yang lagi pada galau,sedih,benggong,gak ada kerjaan ato apapun itulah hehheh.Namanya adalah "Prepositional Pharases."

What is the prepositional pharases ?apa aja bentuk dan contohnya?Apa aja yang bisa kalian dapet setelah baca dan nyimak topik ini ?Kapan prepositional pharases bisa digunakan di kehidupan sehari-hari ? Hmm.C'mon daripada kebanyakkan nanya mending langsung aja cekiii...cekidottt nyo guys :D


At the minimum, a prepositional phrase will begin with a preposition and end with a noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause, the "object" of the preposition.


The object of the preposition will often have one or more modifiers to describe it. These are the patterns for a prepositional phrase:


 FORMULA :
preposition + noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause
preposition + modifier(s) + noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause

Here are some examples of the most basic prepositional phrase:
1. At school
At = preposition; school = noun.
2. In time
In = preposition; time = noun.
3. FromYolla
From = preposition; Yolla = noun.
4. With you
With = preposition; you = pronoun.
5. By jumping
By = preposition; jumping = gerund.
6. About what we like
About = preposition; what we like = noun clause.

Most prepositional phrases are longer, like these:
*From my boyfriend
From = preposition; my = modifier; boyfriend = noun
*Under the 
Under = preposition; the, warm = modifiers; blanket = noun
*In the weedy, overgrown garden 
In = preposition; the, weedy, overgrown = modifiers; garden = noun.
*Along the busy, six-lane highway 
Along = preposition; the, busy, six-lane = modifiers; highway = noun.
*Without excessively worrying 
Without = preposition; excessively = modifier; worrying = gerund.
Understand what prepositional phrases do in a sentence. 
A prepositional phrase will function as an adjective or adverb. As an adjective, the prepositional phrase will answer the question Which one?
 examples:

#The soap on the bathroom floor is swollen from shower steam.
Which soap? The one on the bathroom floor!

#The sweet potatoes in the vegetable bin are green with mold.
Which sweet potatoes? The ones forgotten in the vegetable bin!

#The note from Aya confessed that she had eaten the leftover pizza.
Which note? The one from Aya !

As an adverb, a prepositional phrase will answer questions such as How? When? or Where? 

**Yunai is stiff from yesterday's long football practice. 
How did Yunai get stiff? From yesterday's long football practice!
**Before class, Friska begged his friends for a pencil.
When did Friska do his begging? Before class!
**Feeling brave, we tried the Dragon Breath Burritos at Atin's Taco Palace.
Where did we eat the spicy food? At Atin's Taco Palace!
Remember that a prepositional phrase will never contain the subject of a sentence. 
Sometimes a noun within the prepositional phrase seems the logical subject of a verb. Don't fall for that trick! You will never find a subject in a prepositional phrase. Look at this example: 
Neither of these cookbooks contains the recipe for Manhattan-style squid eyeball stew.Cookbooks do indeed contain recipes. In this sentence, however, cookbooks is part of the prepositional phrase of these cookbooks. Neither—whatever a neither is—is the subject for the verb contains.Neither is singular, so you need the singular form of the verb, contains. If you incorrectly identified cookbooks as the subject, you might write contain, the plural form, and thus commit a subject-verb agreement error.
Some prepositions—such as along with and in addition to—indicate "more to come." They will make you think that you have a plural subject when in fact you don't. Don't fall for that trick either! Read this example: 
Rirri, along with the other students, breathed a sigh of relief when Mrs. Ita Sihombing announced that she was postponing the due date for the research essay.
Logically, more than one student is happy with the news. But Rirri is the only subject of the verb breathed. Her classmates count in the real world, but in the sentence, they don't matter, locked as they are in the prepositional phrase.

Giving Instuction

Definition of giving instuction is an expressions that is used in order that other person does what we instruct/request

The difference between request and instructions

Instructions (also called imperatives)
Instructions require the person receiving them to do something, or to stop doing it. Instructions are directly addressed to the person who has to do thwm. Threfore, instructions are one of the few types of English sentences that do not need a subject. The subject is usually "you" (understood). If there is any doubt who should do the instruction, the "naming" form- the vocative is used.

Requests
Requests are often questions, though indirect requesta may not be. Somentimes an instruction is changed into a request by the addition of "please" or a question tag. To make a request more polite we might use the subjunctive form of the verb. Very often English requests are indirect. Instead of asking someone to do something, the speaker asks if the person is able to do it. Theremore modals of ability ("can", "may",etc) are very often used.
Example :
  • Open the door !
  • Don't disturb me !
  • Be quiet !
  • Take your book now,Charla !

Then I went to Hollywood. Hollywood is a famous district in Los Angeles, California, United States. It had become world-famous as the center of the film industry. Four major film companies – Paramount, Warner Bros., RKO and Columbia – had studios in Hollywood. I did not want to leave but I had to.

After that, I went to New York city. I visited the Statue of Liberty. I went from the bottom of Manhattan to the top of the crown. That was very amazing.

The places made me feel at home but I have to go home. Next time I would return to them.

In the north of Israel was Syria. It had powerful knights. They were very cruel and liked to invade other countries. (Orientation 2)
One night when the people of Jonah’s village were sleeping, the Syrian knights attacked his village. They burned down the houses. One of them threw a torch into Jonah’s house. Jonah’s house was on fire. (Complication)
Jonah and his parents avoided the fire burning their house. They saved themselves by climbing a ladder to the upstairs. It was too high for them to jump down to the ground from the upstairs.

Jonah and his parents lived in a fishermen village. They became fishermen. (Reorientation)
One day, when they were fishing in the sea, Jonah fell into the sea. Jonah was drawn into the sea. A whale came closed to him. He tried to swim avoiding the whale as fast as possible but he failed and at last the whale swallowed him. Jonah was still alive in the stomach of the whale. He prayed to God to be released from the stomach of the whale.(Complication)
Fortunately God granted his prayer. The whale came closed to an island. It opened its mouth and Jonah came out from its stomach.(Resolution)
Jonah swam to the seashore and he lived in a new island.(Reorientation)
Moral value : Don’t give up when you face the problems
Pray to God to get the miracle
