This video examines some words from the prepositions list and how they can sometimes behave as adverbs. There are tips to distinguish them as well as examples.
Thank you sir so much because you have removed my confusion between adverb and preposition. I have been facing this issue for ages, but right now, because of you, I got rid of this problem. I searched this in many sites , but I couldn't get this kind of video the way you have guided. May good bless you!
That's a tricky one. The best tip I can give you is just to remember that with phrasal verbs the object can come before OR after the participle (if it's not a pronoun), but with prepositional verbs, the object always comes after (like a prepositional phrase). But it's more complicated than that. The explanation here is the best one I found: www.thoughtco.com/prepositional-verb-1691667 Good luck! 💫
Yes and yes. In the first example, "down" modifies the verb. In the second example, "down" is the beginning of the prepositional phrase: down the street.
Wow! These ones are tricky and I like them! I think that "up" is functioning as an adverb in both examples. In fact, I think "of milk" is the only prepositional phrase. It's hard to explain why beyond that it just "feels" right, but also if you isolate "up a chair" and "up a gallon", they don't really make sense on their own. "Up" is modifying the verb and adjusting its meaning slightly. I'm sure there is a counter-argument, but that's my take. Thanks for the question!
This is a good question. The second one is more correct. Usually, in English, we use the word "home" as an adverb. It would also be correct to say: Ishani went home. Home behaves as an adverb modifying "where" the verb was done. There are a few other examples were this might be the case. EX: Ishani went downtown. Ishani went there. Since your second example as the noun determiner, "her" in front of it, it makes "home" a noun and so the prepositional phrase "to her home" makes sense.
But how to explain it in the case of a sentence structure consist of Subject, Verbs, Adverb of Place? In the sentence of "We jumped in the river", is the phrase, "in the river" is counted as adverb of place?
Hello! Great question! It is a prepositional phrase, and it's "acting" like an adverb. Prepositional phrases can act as adjectives or adverbs. But according to the topic of this video, "in" isn't an adverb all by itself. The whole prepositional PHRASE is behaving as an adverb. Does that distinction make sense? English can be so frustrating.
@@mr.armstrongteaches5945 Yes so frustrating.. :D but, I got it. Thank you so much. Anyway, to explain the use of phrasal verb in a sentence structure: S, V and Adverb, how to understand this sentence, "I jumped up with my friends", is the 'jumped up' a phrasal verb then 'with my friends', a prepositional phrases acting as an adverb? If it is so, then what about, "I jumped over the bridge"?, is the 'jumped over' not a phrasal verb but a prepositional phrases acting as an adverb? Thanks in advance, for your help.
@@de.natha2395 I would say that "jumped up" is a phrasal verb in that example, but "jumped over" is not. It could be, but I don't think it is in that example. "Over the bridge" is a prepositional phrase acting as an adverb.
@@grammarwithrameshpant1785 Wow, that was actually a student's question. We weren't sure if you would answer at all. Wait 'til I show them your response! Thanks!

it is always a headache trying to differentiate between phrasal verb and prepositional verb, if you have a tip I would appreciate it a lot.

Plz calrify. In the sentence "He went down"
"Down" is an adverb.
But in the sentence "He went down the street"
Is "Down" a preposition here?
Reply plz
Yes and yes. In the first example, "down" modifies the verb. In the second example, "down" is the beginning of the prepositional phrase: down the street.

Hello...What about " pull up a chair" vs "pick up a gallon of milk" ?
Can you help me with this one: pull up a chair and sit down by Steven.

@@mr.armstrongteaches5945 thanks for your answer.
But there is a conceptual problem. There is preposition stranding in English, so, it is possible to exist prepositions at the end of sentences, right?
no
@@Showedremorse Yes! There is preposition stranding in English. That’s What I am talking about ☺️
Johar ho
1) lshani went to home
2) ishani went to her home
Which one is correct and why? Please explain
This is a good question. The second one is more correct. Usually, in English, we use the word "home" as an adverb. It would also be correct to say: Ishani went home. Home behaves as an adverb modifying "where" the verb was done. There are a few other examples were this might be the case. EX: Ishani went downtown. Ishani went there.
Since your second example as the noun determiner, "her" in front of it, it makes "home" a noun and so the prepositional phrase "to her home" makes sense.

And it good for us to study
Where are you from sir? Sir I am indian and I watched your video and it was very usefull for me.
Thanks! I'm so glad! I live in Tucson, Arizona. Hope you're staying safe over there!
@@mr.armstrongteaches5945 Yes sir I am safe and you
Sir ,how up , over ,in and out and many more is converted into verb? Plz explain
They aren't converted into verbs, they behave as adverbs that modify verbs.
Sir i m in class 5 can you help me please stand outside is it the preposition or adverb?
In the example: "Stand outside.", outside is behaving as an adverb because there is no noun (object of the preposition) after it.
Exactly @@mr.armstrongteaches5945
It is hard to remember when a word acts as a preposition and/or an adverb? Is there a trick?
very simple. When it is preposition,it is followed by a noun/pronoun/gerund but it is not the case with adverb.
