A Great Big Praying Mantis

Identifying Prepositions and Objects

A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence. In this case, the preposition "through" indicates the movement of the praying mantis in relation to the window.

Object of the Preposition

The object of the preposition is the noun or pronoun that follows the preposition and completes its meaning. In the sentence "A great big praying mantis climbed through the window," the object of the preposition is "the window." It tells us where the praying mantis climbed through.

Understanding prepositions and their objects is essential for building clear and coherent sentences. By identifying them correctly, we can communicate our ideas effectively and accurately.
