I think there is prepositional phrase in sentence 5
Answered by Divyan
It is over to the window
Answered by Ms. Sue
5 is a little tricky. The prepositional phrase is "to the window." The word "over" is an adverb modifying "walked." Note that there is no noun or pronoun following "over."
Answered by Divyan
