You should add it. Figuring out what constitutes an object of a preposition is not that tough.
Natalie Harper of esteemed memory (for whom my second child received her fourth name) taught us all to say these things properly or face the mighty wrath of her long-suffering gaze, the slow shake of her head and the wag of her finger. If we could learn it all when distracted by the heedy New England autumns and springs, surely your students can learn it all in the middle of Minnesota!
She was also very strict about using the word 'hopefully' as an adjective instead of using it to replace the words, 'I hope'. "Hopefully, he went to the mailbox."
