L. Stine,\" both <em>Min Jin Lee<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>R. L. Stine<\/em> are objects of the preposition\u00a0<em>by<\/em>,\u00a0so it only needs to appear once in the sentence.\r\n\r\nHowever, you can't do this when you have different prepositions. Consider the familiar saying, \"He fell <strong>out<\/strong> of the frying pan and <strong>into<\/strong> the fire.\" If you leave out one of the prepositions, as in\u00a0\"We fell out of the frying pan and the fire,\" the statement suggests that we fell out of the frying pan\u00a0<em>and<\/em> out of the fire\u2014which might be a preferable outcome, but it's a significant change of meaning!\r\n<div class=\"textbox exercises\">\r\n<h3>Which Preposition?<\/h3>\r\nThe difference between\u00a0<strong>beside<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>besides<\/strong>\u00a0can be confusing.

A prepositional phrase includes a\u00a0preposition and its\u00a0complement (e.g., \"<strong>behind<\/strong> <em>the house<\/em>\" or \"<b>from\u00a0<\/b><em>the post office<\/em>\").\u00a0These phrases can appear at the beginning or end of sentences.\r\n<div class=\"textbox examples\">\r\n<h3>Examples: prepositions in sentences<\/h3>\r\nWhen propositions occur at the beginning of a sentence, they typically need a comma afterward:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>You can drop that off behind the house.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Before a hurricane, it's a good idea to board up your windows.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nWhen they occur at the beginning of a sentence, they need a comma afterward:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>As an editor, she does a lot of reading.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"textbox exercises\">\r\n<h3>Ending a Sentence with a Preposition<\/h3>\r\nIt is 100 percent\u00a0okay to end a sentence with a preposition. Let's take a look at two examples to help us understand why it is\u00a0best to avoid ending a sentence with prepositions\u00a0unnecessarily. For example:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>OK: Where are you at?<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Better: Where are you?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nIf you remove\u00a0<em>at<\/em>, the sentence becomes \"Where are you?\" This means the same thing, so removing\u00a0<em>at<\/em> is a good idea.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>OK: That's not what it's used for.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Incorrect: That's not what it's used.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nWhen you remove\u00a0<em>for<\/em>, the sentence becomes \"That's not what it's used,\" which doesn't make sense.\r\n\r\nIf your sentence ends with a preposition and would still mean the same thing without the preposition, take it out.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"textbox tryit\">\r\n<h3>Try It<\/h3>\r\nhttps:\/\/assess.lumenlearning.com\/practice\/76e2ca2b-f647-4309-a949-e1eff8dd2f73\r\n\r\n<\/div>","rendered":"<div class=\"textbox learning-objectives\">\n<h3>Learning Objectives<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Correctly identify and use prepositions in a sentence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Prepositions<\/strong>\u00a0are relation words;\u00a0they\u00a0can indicate location, time, or other more abstract relationships.
