Example:
7 | Page

i) She likes to jog in the morning.

ii) It's too cold in winter to run outside.
iii) He started the job in 1971.

We use for when we measure time (seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years).
Example:
1) He held his breath for five minutes.
2) She's lived there for five years.
3) The British and Irish have been quarrelling for seven centuries.
We use since with a specific date or time.
Example:
1) He's worked here since 1993.
2) She's been sitting in the waiting room since two-thirty.

Understand how to form a prepositional phrase.

Prepositions generally introduce prepositional phrases. Prepositional phrases look like
this:
PREPOSITION

+ OPTIONAL MODIFIERS + NOUN, PRONOUN, OR

GERUND

Here are some examples:

a) At school
At = preposition; school = noun.
b) According to us
According to = preposition; us = pronoun.
c) By chewing
8 | Page

By = preposition; chewing = gerund.

d) Under the stove
Under = preposition; the = modifier; stove = noun.
e) In the crumb-filled, rumpled sheets
In = preposition; the, crumb-filled, rumpled = modifiers; sheets = noun.
Realize that some prepositions also function as subordinate conjunctions.
Some prepositions also function as subordinate conjunctions. These prepositions
are after, as, before, since, and until. A subordinate conjunction will have both a
subject and a verb following it, forming a subordinate clause.
Look at these examples:
a) After Samuel and Jenny watched movie
After = subordinate conjunction; Sam, Jenny= subjects; watched = verb.
b) As Jerome buckled on the belt
As = subordinate conjunction; Jerome = subject; buckled = verb.
c) Before I eat these frog legs
Before = subordinate conjunction; I = subject; eat = verb.
c) Since we have enjoyed the squid eyeball stew
Since = subordinate conjunction; we = subject; have enjoyed = verb.
d) Until your hiccups stop
Until = subordinate conjunction; hiccups = subject; stop = verb.
If you find a noun [with or without modifiers] following one of these five prepositions, then all
you have is a prepositional phrase.
Look at these examples:
9 | Page

a) After the killer mathematic test

After = preposition; the, killer, mathematic = modifiers; test = noun.
b) As a good parent
As = preposition; a, good = modifiers; parent = noun.
c) Before dinner
Before = preposition; dinner = noun.
d) Since the breakup
Since = preposition; the = modifier; breakup = noun.
e) Until midnight
Until = preposition; midnight = noun.

Every student need to improved their grammar especially in this modern world. Everything
