🔑 What is a Prepositional Phrase?

👉 A prepositional phrase is a group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun (called the object of the preposition).

• It adds extra information about time, place, direction, cause, or manner.

🧩 Structure:

Preposition + Object (noun/pronoun) + (modifiers)

• ✔ Example: in the park 🌳
• ✔ Example: under the table 🍽️
• ✔ Example: with her best friend 👭

🧭 Common Prepositions:

📍 in, on, at, by, under, over, near, behind, with, about, for, from, to, during, after, before

✨ Examples of Prepositional Phrases:

1. The cat is under the bed. 🐱🛏️
2. We walked through the forest. 🌲🚶
3. She is waiting at the bus stop. 🚌
4. He found his keys on the table. 🔑

🕵️ How to Identify?

1. ✅ Look for a preposition.
2. ✅ Find the noun/pronoun it connects to.
3. ✅ The whole group of words = prepositional phrase.

🚫 Remember:

• A prepositional phrase can never be the subject of a sentence.
• It works as an adjective (describes a noun) or an adverb (describes a verb).
