Answer 4

Ms. Sue on number 2
The baseball is the object and underline out of reach and underline from the boy

Would this be the correct answer for number two.

Answer 5

2. Baseball is the subject.
Your prepositional phrases are correct.

Answer 6

For number three
They were is the object
and underline about to win the championship as the prepositional phrase.

Would the above be correct?

Answer 7

So just the word baseball would be the subject and/or object?

Answer 8

Number four
He would be the object
Underline to be
Underline at the party
Sentence number four has two prepositional phrases

Can you check the above?

Answer 9

3. They is the subject. Were is the verb. This sentence has no prepositional phrase. "To win" is an infinitive.

4. He is not an object!
"To be" is an infinitive.
Yes, "at the party" is a prepositional phrase.
