When a sentence has a prepositional phrase, it is best to ignore the prepositional phrase when determining what the subject is.

A) True
B) False
Answer is B

No!! I taught my students to eliminate prepositional phrases when finding the subject and verb.

It's easy to find the subject when you eliminate the prepositional phrases.

In the middle of the night, one of my sisters had a nightmare.

(In the middle) (of the night), one (of my sisters) had a nightmare.

SO IT'S TRUE THEN?

Yes. It is true.

To determine whether the answer is true or false, we need to understand the concept of a prepositional phrase and its relationship to the subject of a sentence.

A prepositional phrase is a group of words that begins with a preposition (e.g., in, on, of, for, to) and includes a noun or pronoun called the object of the preposition. Prepositional phrases provide additional information about a noun, pronoun, or verb in a sentence.

When identifying the subject of a sentence, it is important to consider the entire sentence, including any prepositional phrases. The subject of a sentence is the noun, pronoun, or noun phrase that typically performs the action of the verb or is the topic of the sentence.

In this case, the statement claims that it is best to ignore the prepositional phrase when determining the subject. This statement is false because prepositional phrases are not ignored when identifying the subject of a sentence. Instead, the subject is determined by considering both the main noun or pronoun and any accompanying prepositional phrases.

Therefore, the correct answer is B) False.
