Question

Are these two sentences correct?


Adjectival prepositonal phrase:
I like in our house the big kitchen to cook in. (in our house is the adjectival prepositonal phrase)

Participal Phrase:
I dislike ordering an item online to find a damaged package when it arrives. (damaged package is the participal phrase)

Answer 1

Adjectival prepositonal phrase:
I like in our house the big kitchen to cook in. (in our house is the adjectival prepositonal phrase)
<b>I'd move "in our house" so that it is immediately after "kitchen." Otherwise, yes, it's fine.</b>

Participal Phrase:
I dislike ordering an item online to find a damaged package when it arrives. (damaged package is the participal phrase)
<b>The word "damaged" is being used as a participle here, but it's not a participial phrase. Here's an example:

The package damaged during shipment cost more than it was worth.
(In that sentence "damaged during shipment" is a participial phrase.)

Here's another example:
Hiding in the closet, the child felt safe during the thunderstorm.
("Hiding in the closet" is the participial phrase.)</b>
