Read this excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. "You might make a joke on THAT,” said the little voice close

to her ear: "something about ‘you WOULD if you could,’ you know.” "Don't tease so,” said Alice, looking about in vain to see where the voice came from; "if you're so anxious to have a joke made, why don't you make one yourself?” The little voice sighed deeply: it was VERY unhappy, evidently, and Alice would have said something pitying to comfort it, "If it would only sigh like other people!” she thought. But this was such a wonderfully small sigh, that she wouldn't have heard it at all, if it hadn't come QUITE close to her ear. The consequence of this was that it tickled her ear very much, and quite took off her thoughts from the unhappiness of the poor little creature. What question should a reader ask to clarify what is happening in the story? Who or what is the voice speaking to Alice? When will Alice attempt to share a joke? What secret will Alice share with the new character? Why do whispers tickle the listener?

Prepositional phrase

Adverb

Object of the prepositional phrase

Explanation:

  • 'In' in the first sentence is a preposition as it is followed by the noun to form the prepositional phrase which will function as the adjective to modify the noun 'engineers.'
  • 'Around' in the second sentence is functioning as an adverb because it modifies the verb 'ran' and provides information about where the action took place.
  • 'At Night' in the third sentence is a prepositional phrase as it consists of a preposition plus its object(night) and function as the adverb in the sentence.
  • 'Disgruntled' in the fourth sentence functions as an adjective as it qualifies the noun 'engineers' in the sentence.
  • 'Along the river bank' is also functioning as a prepositional phrase which is acting as an adverb to modify the verb 'strolled.'
  • 'Nightly' is the adverb in the next sentence as it describes the manner in which the action was done.
  • 'Engineers' in the next sentence is the noun as it refers to the class of a people and acts as the subject in the sentence.
  • 'In the union' is also a prepositional phrase which is acting as an adjective to qualify the noun in the sentence.
  • 'Union' in the last sentence is the object of the preposition as it is followed by a preposition and forms the prepositional phrase to act like an adjective in the sentence.
