What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students build word groups that tell where, when, or how something happens. They use these groups to add clear details to spoken and written sentences.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students can identify phrases such as “under the table” and explain what information they add. They can add a clear phrase to a complete sentence without creating a fragment.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may use a preposition alone, such as “under,” without naming under what. They may also mistake any location word for a complete phrase or create fragments instead of full sentences.
How to Assess It
- Give students the sentence “The puppy slept.” Ask them to add one phrase telling where and another telling when.

Ask students to complete the prompt, “Before school, I,” then circle the words that tell when.
Play Phrase Match by pairing preposition cards with noun phrase cards, then use each completed phrase in a sentence.
Read classroom directions and highlight phrases such as “on your desk,” “after lunch,” and “near the door.”
