Question

participal
adverbial
infinitive
gerund

Which of the following is a prepositional phrase in the sentence below?
(Applause came from the bleachers.)

Applause came
came from
from
from the bleachers

My answers:
gerund
from the bleachers

I'm indecisive about the second question, I don't know for certain if the prepositional phrase is 'came from' or 'from the bleachers.' Could someone check my answers and help me understand how to identify a prepositional phrase?

Answer 1

You are correct. "came" is a verb. The phrase "from the bleachers" tells where it came from, "from" being the preposition.

Answer 2

The correct answer is

from the bleachers

I put

from

and got it incorrect so Reed is wrong

Answer 3

No he was right you misread it.

Answer 4

Yea, Reed is right

Answer 5

Reed is wrong is "from the bleachers"
