Make sure that you have a preposition in the sentence.
Answer (1)
To rewrite the sentence with a preposition, we can say: 'A house in the woods was set on fire at night, and the fire was so intense that it destroyed the entire structure.'
Now, let's break down the components of this rewritten sentence:
Who or What? - The subject of the sentence is 'A house.'
Action (What happened?) - The house was 'set on fire,' which is describing the action.
Where? - The location given is 'in the woods.' This prepositional phrase indicates the place where the event occurred.
When? - The time mentioned is 'at night,' which provides the timing of the incident.
Why or How intense? - The intensity of the fire is described as 'so intense that it destroyed the entire structure,' explaining the extent of the damage caused by the fire.
This sentence now clearly conveys the key details about the event (who, what, when, where, and how) with the inclusion of the preposition 'in' to show location and 'at' to indicate time.
