Prepositional Phrases

Prepositional phrases show relationships.   A prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun, which is called the object of the preposition. Prepositional phrases that modify nouns or pronouns are called adjective phrases.  Prepositional phrases that modify verbs, adjectives, or adverbs are called adverb phrases.
Use your Elements of Language textbook:  Refer to pages 112-115 for more on prepositions and pages 142-147 for more on prepositional phrases, adjective phrases, and adverb phrases.
