CHAPTER IV FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
CHAPTER 5 CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTION
B. Suggestions
The researcher makes the following recommendations based on the foregoing conclusions:
1. For teachers
a. The teacher should be skilled at teaching and studying English, as well as making pupils feel at ease in the classroom.
b. b. When teaching grammar, especially in the previous clauses, the teacher recommends that students adopt tactics that encourage them to build their skills. They should be encouraged to consider the preceding sentences as part of the English language, which should be transmitted in both oral and writing communication.
2. Suggestion for students
a. Students should work on their motivation because it is a critical component of learning English.
48
b. Students should answer all of the teacher's questions and should not be scared to answer incorrectly.
3. Suggestion for another researcher
Other scholars will need to perform more research using the same object but from a different perspective on prepositional phrases.
Because students frequently have difficulty distinguishing prepositional phrases, particularly prepositional phrases of time and location.

TWO WOMEN AND A CAT
Once upon a time, there were kind and bad women. They are Ica and Ima.
They lived together in a small house of peaceful village. There are not siblings but kinswoman, their mothers died when they graduated in senior high school. Their mothers died because of an accident, so they lived together and they take care of each other.
In the house where they lived there was a cute cat. Ica and Ima had different characters. Ica loves animals but Ima doesn‟t. Because Ima loved Ica like her own sibling so she let her take care of that cat even though sometimes she felt like hate the cat.
When Ima wake up at 7:00 she saw her cousin busy made breakfast in the kitchen that makes her love him so much. After Ica made some food then she laid down on the table after that she calls her cousin to eat together. On a sunshine morning they walk to the market to buy some ingredients to fulfill the kitchen, Ica forgot to put the cat into the stable. They come back from the market at night when they come house, they directly entered the house and Ica went to the kitchen and Ima went to her bedroom. Ima was very angry when she entered her room. When she saw that cat, she was very emotional and directly hit that cat until the cat got injured and at the same time Ica heard her cat‟s voice and she went to Ima‟s room. Ica was very shocked when she saw that cat died, she cries and immediately she hugs that cat.
Since the accident, Ica was angry with Ima. Day by day she cried because of her cat. Ima was very confused because Ica never stopped crying.
“I am sorry, I won‟t do it again,” said Ima
But Ica still cried because she loved that cat. “I will forgive you if you promise not to hit the animal again especially the cat,” said Ica Ima accepted Ica‟s appointment. And finally, Ima and Ica lived happily with some cats. At their house it became the most comfortable place for both of them.
