About this resource

Description

Prepositional phrases are the small groups of words that tell readers where or when something happens, like under the bridge or after lunch. This L.4.1 common core worksheet gives fourth graders focused practice with standard L.4.1e, which asks students to form and use prepositional phrases correctly in their own writing.

This 4th grade prepositions worksheet has two parts. In Part A, students read eight sentences and choose the prepositional phrase from a word box that makes each one make sense, using context clues such as a splash, a thunderstorm, or a crossing guard to find the only phrase that fits. In Part B, students read four sentence parts, find the prepositional phrase in each, and write the preposition that begins it. Use it as a mini-lesson follow-up, a morning warm-up, a homework page, or a quick check before a grammar assessment, and check answers with the included answer key.

What’s Included

  • 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
  • Answer key
  • 12 practice items: 8 fill-in-the-phrase sentences with a word box and 4 find-the-preposition items

There are three reasons this L.4.1 common core worksheet helps kids learn this skill. First, each sentence has only one phrase that truly fits, so students must read for meaning instead of guessing. Second, moving from using whole phrases in Part A to naming the preposition in Part B shows students how every phrase is built. Third, the sentences describe everyday moments at home and school, which makes it easy for students to start using prepositional phrases in their own sentences.

Teachers and parents can extend the lesson by asking students to add a new prepositional phrase to a sentence of their own, or to rewrite a Part A sentence with a different phrase that changes its meaning. Try a quick game where one student gives a preposition and a partner finishes the phrase. Students can also hunt for prepositional phrases in a favorite book and sort them into phrases that tell where and phrases that tell when.
