Further Explanation

Esta expectativa estudiantil requiere que los estudiantes entiendan el uso correcto de las preposiciones y de las frases preposicionales y que demuestren ese conocimiento a través de la edición correcta de textos.

During the editing stage of the writing process, students further improve their drafts and often prepare for publication by correcting conventions errors. Ensuring that the standards of the Spanish language have been applied correctly helps the audience more easily comprehend the information because they do not have to interrupt their thinking to determine what the writer intended to say.
Students are expected to demonstrate an understanding of the functions of prepositional phrases and to use them effectively in their writing. Prepositional phrases begin with the preposition and include its object and any words used to modify the object. Prepositional phrases can be used to modify a verb, like durmió in the sentence Mi abuelo se durmió durante la obra de teatro, or to modify a noun, like llaves in Las llaves están debajo del tapete.
Prepositions are words placed before a noun or pronoun that help express the relationship of that word to other parts of the sentence. Students should know that prepositions indicate where or when something exists. For example, the word desde in the statement, Mariana estaba lista para ir a la escuela desde las siete de la mañana, lets a reader know how long Mariana has been ready to go to school.
