Prepositional phrases and thier use in English

CONCLUSION
In this course paper, we have dealt with many problems of grammar, especially urgent things: prepositions and prepositional phrases. It is known that English is one of the languages of German language origin and it has more than 341mln speakers. In the first chapter we dealt with the general characteristics of phrases as well as prepositional phrases. In the first subchapter of the first chapter we observed the theoretical background of prepositions and prepositional phrases. We observed them according to their etymological, grammatical as well as functional background of prepositions and prepositional phrases. In the next subchapter we have dealt with phrases and their types. As we know, phrases consist of several types such as noun phrase, prepositional phrase, adjective phrase, gerund phrase, appositive phrase, participial phrase and adverb phrase. We counted all the types of phrases and gave detailed information about them in the first chapter.
In the following chapter we have analyzed prepositional phrases and their use in English. A prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and ends with a noun--a person, place or thing. Prepositional phrases add description or answer questions like where, when or which.
He put the pencil into the box. ( answers the question where)
The girl in white dress is my sister. ( answers the question which)
He will come in the morning. ( answers the question when)
Prepositional phrases add valuable information to sentences. However, they may keep you from seeing the basic parts of a sentence, like the subject and verb.
A prepositional phrase can act as an adjective modifying a noun or as an adverb modifying a verb (sometimes an adjective or another adverb.)
For example: I saw a girl in the booth.
The prepositional phrase in the booth acts as an adjective because it modifies the noun girl. It answers the question "Which girl?"
Like an adverb, a prepositional phrase can tell where, when, how, why or to what extent.
Desert lizards lie under the sand.
The prepositional phrase under the sand acts as an adverb because it modifies the verb lie. It answers the question “where”.
Their body temperature are lower without sunlight.
In this sentence the prepositional phrase without sunlight also acts as an adverb and answers the question “how”.
In the second chapter we can see prepositional phrases’ idiomatically uses too. The complex prepositions are also called phrasal verbs, prepositional idioms or prepositional patterns because they are collective and most times a change in the preposition completely alters the meaning of the construction.
For example:
Fall in love with
Make up mind
Dependent on
Independent of

The next subchapter is dedicated to the methods of teaching prepositions to beginner level learners. In that part we counted several ways, methods and games to teach prepositions to pupils. In teaching foreign language illustrative method is more preferable way. Things we see play an enormous part in affecting us and in giving us information. We predict, deduce and infer, not only from what we hear and read but from what we see around us and from what we remember having see. Pictures are not just an aspect of method but through their representation of places, objects and people they are an essential part of the overall experiences we must help our students to cope with. Specifically, pictures contribute to:
