To identify the object of a preposition in a sentence, you need to understand what a preposition is and how it functions in a sentence.
1. In the sentence "Ashley and her father arrived home from work," the preposition is "from." The object of this preposition is the word that follows it, which is "work." Therefore, the correct answer is d. "work," as you indicated.
To confirm this, you can follow these steps:
- Identify the word that comes after the preposition "from." In this sentence, it is the word "work."
- Ask yourself, "What is being referred to or acted upon by the word 'from'?" In this case, it is the destination or origin of the action expressed by the verb "arrived." "Work" is the place from which Ashley and her father arrived home.
2. In the sentence "Ashley put her journalism books in the new bookcase," the preposition is "in." The object of this preposition is the word that follows it, which is "bookcase." Therefore, the correct answer is a. "bookcase," as you indicated.
To confirm this, you can follow these steps:
- Identify the word that comes after the preposition "in." In this sentence, it is the word "bookcase."
- Ask yourself, "What is being referred to or acted upon by the word 'in'?" In this case, it is the place where Ashley put her journalism books. The books are inside the bookcase.
It seems that your answers for these two questions are correct. Well done!
