I really need help with these prepositions and I don't know if I did it right or not, can you please check?

Directions: cross out any prepositional phrases. Underline the subject once and the verb/ verb phrase twice. I don't know exactly how to find the verb phrases, that is what confuses me, I don't know if it's just supposed to be a verb or a verb phrase.
