Question

In prepositional phrases, can the subject be more than one word long????? HELP!!!!!

Answer 1

Prepositional phrases don't have subjects.

Answer 2

I meant object.

Answer 3

At the minimum, a prepositional phrase will begin with a preposition and end with a noun, pronoun, gerund or clause, the "object" of the preposition.

The object of the preposition will often have ONE OR MORE modifiers to describe it. Heres a couple examples : "on time" preposition is "on" noun is "time"

Ex2 : From eating too much. Preposition is "from" Gerund is "eating" and the modifier is "too much"

Ex3: Underneath the sagging yellow couch
Preposition is "underneath" Modifier is "the, sagging and yellow and Noun is "couch"

Did this help a little?

Answer 4

A prepositional phrase can have more than one object.
