I would like for someone to check my sentences. Cross out any prepositional phrases. Underline the subject once and the verb or verb phrase twice. Label the Adv.
1.) Her dog likes to lie upon a pillow throughout the afternoon. ( subject:dog verb: likes Adv: throughout Phrase: upon a pillow)
2.) During the wedding reception, the bride sat near the groom and her attendants. (Subject:bride verb:sat adv:near phrase: during the wedding reception, the groom and her attendants)
