Using noun as object to preposition.

The Object of the
Preposition Prepositions are small words that create a
relationship between other
words in a sentence by linking
phrases to the rest of the
sentence. The nouns that follow them
are objects of the preposition. [In the following examples,
the preposition is bold and the object of the preposition is
underlined.] From the beginning of the storm, Dorothy was sure she would make it home. BEGINNING is the object of the
preposition FROM, and STORM
is the object of the preposition
OF. For many in the class, math proved to be the most
challenging subject. You can find the object of the
preposition by asking the
question WHAT? about the
preposition. e.g. For what?
MANY. In what? CLASS. Until sunrise, the SWAT team will hide in the marsh. The preposition UNTIL serves
to connect its object
(SUNRISE) with the main
clause. The preposition IN
connects its object MARSH to
the verb, making the whole phrase part of the complete
predicate. The fuzzy, red cat on the fence wanders among the houses. FENCE acts as the object of the
preposition ON. The whole
phrase acts as part of the
complete subject. HOUSES is
the object of the preposition
AMONG. The whole phrase acts as part of the complete
predicate. When a pronoun acts as an
object of the preposition, it
must take the objective case. [In the following examples,
the preposition is bold and the object of the preposition is
underlined.] Bill was more than a little
irritated when the water
balloon fell on him. HIM acts as the object of the
preposition ON. It is incorrect
to write fell on HE. Theo gave a dollar to Stephen and me to go to the store. Both STEPHEN and ME act as
the object of the preposition
TO. It would be incorrect to
write TO STEPHEN AND I. It seems like a waste of time for you and me to drive to Portland for the game. Both YOU and ME act as the
object of the first preposition
FOR. GAME is the object of the
second preposition FOR
