Dialogue
Here is a conversation between Mrs Smith (Joan) and husband Steve.

It’s Saturday and Joan and Steve are decorating.
Joan	Steve, you missed a bit.
Steve	Where?
Joan	Here, on the wall just by the window, you can see a patch of white.
Steve	Oh yes, I see it. It’s difficult in this light.
Joan	I know, well at least we have finished this room, only five more to go.
Steve	Are you sure you want to put wallpaper up in the lounge?

Preposition In, On and At

Buka tas.

ambil buku paket, primbon, pulpen, correction fluid beserta perlengkapan buat belajar. 

jangan ribut.

ga ada yg boleh nglakuin hal lain selain belajar.

Karna topik untuk hari ini adalah Preposition IN, ON & AT. :)

Cekidot aja lah :)

Definition

The prepositions in, on, and at can be used to indicate time and place.

Prepositions: In, On, and At (with specific times and places)

The prepositions in, on, and at can be used to indicate time and place. Notice how they are used in the following situations:

Preposition	Time	Place
In	Year, Month, In 1999, In December	Country, State, City In Japan, InTaipei
On	Day, Date On Saturday, On May 1	Street On Main Street, On 1st Ave.
At	Time At 8:00, At 7:30	Address At 815 East Main Street

In many languages, there is only one preposition for the above situations. In English there are three. Just remember that in usually indicates the "largest" time or place, and at usually indicates the "smallest" time or place. Examples:

A: Where's your office?

 B: In Taipei, Taiwan. 

A: Really? What part of Taipei?

 B: It's on Chung Shan North Road. 

A: I know that area. Where exactly is it?

. C: What day? 

D: It's on Saturday, the 25th.

 C: What time? 

D: It starts at 6:00.

When talking about locations, use at to indicate the general vicinity or area, and in to
indicate inside the building, enclosed area, etc. For example:

at the swimming pool (on site)	in the swimming pool (in the pool itself i.e. in the water)
at the post office/bank (general)	in the post office/bank (inside the building)
at the zoo (visitors, general area)	in the zoo (animals in their cages)

She found a rare coin in the library (building). Dr. Jones works at the hospital every day. John was in the hospital for a week with a broken leg.

For school, prison, and mosque, the is used to indicate the building. No article indicates

the general situation. Note the following:

"practice"/situation	building
in school (studying, listening to teacher, etc.)	in the school (building)
in jail/prison (staying there as a criminal)	in the jail/prison (temporary)
in church (praying, listening to a sermon, etc.)	in the church (building)

A noun phrase is other a single noun or any group of words containing noun or a pronoun that function together as a noun or pronoun, as the subject or object of a verb.

For example, ‘they’ , ‘books’, and ‘the books’, are noun phrases, but ‘book’ is just a noun, as you can see in these sentences (in which all the noun phrases are italic)

Structure of Noun Phrases:
-A beautiful old painting on the wall

When you use a noun in front of another noun, you never put adjectives between them, you put adjectives in front of the first noun.
Example : We just spoke with a young American boy

Noun phrase can be in form of gerund (base + ing) or gerund and other nouns compounding.
Example : Passing the exam watching TV

The Noun examples :

•       Persons: girl, boy, instructor, student, Mr. Smith, Peter, president

•       Animals: dog, cat, shark, hamster, fish, bear, flea

•        Places: gym, store, school, Minnesota, village, Europe

•       Things: computer, pen, notebook, mailbox, bush, tree, cornflakes

•       Ideas: liberty, panic, attention, knowledge, compassion, worship

The Functions of Nouns in Sentences :

                       2.Predicate Noun (also Predicate Nominative or Subjective Complement)

                       5. Indirect object of a verb

                       6. Object of the preposition

For example:

•       I like swimming

•       The word ‘swimming’  is a gerund

PHRASES

•       A  phrase is a group of related words that lacks both a subject and a predicate. Because it lacks a subject and a predicate it cannot act as a sentence.

•       A noun phrase consists of a pronoun or noun with any associated modifiers, including adjectives, adjective phrases, and other nouns in the possessive case.

•       Like a noun, a noun phrase can act as a subject, as the object of a verb or verbal, as a subject orobject complement, or as the object of a preposition, as in the following ...

•       Small children often insist that they can do it by themselves.

Prepositional phrase

A prepositional phrase is a preposition and the noun following it. The preposition is in the head position and the noun is in the complement position.

Please note that prepositions are words such as in, from, to, etc. used before a noun or pronoun to show a place, a position, time or a method.

At the minimum, a prepositional phrase will begin with a preposition and end with a noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause, the “object” of the preposition.

The pattern for a prepositional phrase :

·         Preposition + noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause.

·         Preposition + modifier (s) + noun, pronoun, gerund or clause.
