'Sensory was intact to light touch proprioception and pinprick.'
I marked the prepositions 'was' and 'to' in this sentence and was marked incorrect.
Advice please?
What are your instructions for this sentence?
Sorry Ms Sue, I should have been specific. My instructions are to find the prepositions and conjunctions in the sentence.
I marked the prepositions 'was' and 'to' and the conjunction 'and'; I was marked incorrect on both prepositions and conjunction.
Thank you Ms Sue.
"was" is a verb
"to" is a preposition
"and" is a conjunction
If you're sure you've copied the sentence correctly, please check with your teacher about why two of these correct answers were marked wrong.
Preposition 'to' and conjunction 'and' will be my answer.
Yes.
I SAY YOU SHOULD LOOK UP MOUNTAIN VIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL OR
In the sentence, "Sensory was intact to light touch proprioception and pinprick," you correctly identified "was" as a verb and "to" as a preposition. However, the reason you were marked incorrect might be because "intact" is not a preposition.
"Intact" is actually an adjective in this sentence, describing the state of the sensory system. It means that the sensory system is undamaged or functioning normally.
To identify prepositions, you should look for words that indicate relationships between other words in the sentence (such as location, direction, or time) and are followed by a noun or pronoun. Examples of common prepositions include "in," "on," "at," "to," "by," "for," and "with."
