An Exercise on Prepositional Phrases

Go to this page: The Story of the Oriole

Copy the text into your Grammar Notebook and follow the directions -- particular focus on telling what noun or verb is being modified by the prepositional phrase.

I can't think of a way to have you draw arrows, so you could just bold the noun or verb that is being modified. Try color-coding it like this:

He will build his nest (DO) {on our trees} [Adv. to "will build"].
