Khan Academy Introduction to Prepositions and Conjunctions (website)


  • Prepositions and prepositional phrases link a noun or verb to describe direction or condition.  A preposition relates the noun or pronoun that follows it to some other word in the sentence.

    • Ex: The deer ran across the road. We stopped at the store down the street.

    • Preposition Rules

  • It is important to explicitly teach prepositions that do not show spatial or time relationships

    • Examples: of, like, among

  • Distinguish an adverb from a preposition. Adverbs are used alone in sentences. Prepositions must be followed by a noun or pronoun that answers the question to what or whom.

    • Adverb: He walked around.

    • Preposition: He walked around the store.

  • For this objective, students need to recognize prepositions.

  • Conjunctions are words that connect parts of a sentence.

    • Coordinating Conjunctions  connect equal parts of a sentence.

      • The seven coordinating conjunctions can be remembered with the mnemonic device FANBOYS: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So

    • Subordinating Conjunctions connect a dependent clause to an independent clause (unequal parts of a sentence)

      • Common subordinating conjunctions: after, although, because, if, how, since, supposing, than, that, though, unless, until, when, where, whether, which

    • Correlative Conjunctions connect two ideas in pairs.

      • Common correlative conjunctions include neither/nor, either/or, not only/but also.

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
