USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Prepositional phrases are just that: phrases that begin with a preposition like “to” or “of". In the phrase “The stained glass of the cathedral in Spain", everything from “of” to “Spain” is part of a prepositional phrase. We use them to modify other words.

Detailed explanation-2: -A prepositional phrase includes the object that the preposition in a sentence is referring to and any other words that link it to the preposition. For example: “He hid beneath the duvet.” A prepositional phrase usually includes a preposition, a noun or pronoun and may include an adjective. It doesn’t include the verb.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some of the most common prepositions that begin prepositional phrases are to, of, about, at, before, after, by, behind, during, for, from, in, over, under, and with.

Detailed explanation-4: -Prepositional phrases always consist of two basic parts at minimum: the object and the preposition. In formal English, prepositions are almost always followed by objects. Adjectives can be placed between the prepositions and objects in prepositional phrases. Prepositional phrases can act as adverbs or adjectives.
