Exercise 3 – Underline the Preposition
Goldilocks used to live with her parents in a cabin near the forest. One
day, she decided to go for a walk. She strolled down the lane that led
to the forest and came across a cottage. Feeling intrigued, she decided
to check whose house it was. She knocked on the door, but no one
answered. Then she decided to go in and check. Once she came into the
cottage, she saw three soup bowls kept on the table. Feeling hungry, she
drank the soup out of the smallest bowl. She saw a flight of stairs that
led to a room above. She decided to go and see the rooms. On reaching
the rooms, she saw there were three beds. Feeling sleepy with all the
walking and hot soup, she decided to take a nap and slept on the
smallest bed. When she woke up, she saw three bears standing in front
of her, and the smallest bear among them crying loudly. Terrified, she
started screaming and ran past the bear family to reach her home.
interjection
An interjection is a word or phrase used to express a feeling or to request
or demand something. While interjections are a part of speech, they are
not grammatically connected to other parts of a sentence.
