A prepositional phrase is a group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun, which is called the object of the preposition. The prepositional phrase often provides additional information about time, location, direction, cause, manner, or other relationships.
For example:
- In the sentence "The book is on the table," "on the table" is a prepositional phrase. "On" is the preposition, and "the table" is the object of the preposition.
- In "She walked through the park," "through the park" is a prepositional phrase.
Prepositional phrases can act as adjectives or adverbs in a sentence, enhancing the meaning and providing more details.
