Prepositional Phrases

Reference: https://www.grammar-monster.com/glossary/prepositional_phrase.htm

A prepositional phrase is a group of words that consists of a preposition, its object (which will be a noun ora pronoun), and any words that modify the object.In these examples, the prepositional phrase is blue and the preposition is in bold.

A singer with passion A town near London

It is a little bit more complicated than shown above because the noun can be anything that plays the role of a noun.For example:It's a present from her.(Remember that the "noun" can be a pronoun.)She stole it from the man across the street.(Here, the noun is a noun phrase.)It's obvious from what he said. (Here, the noun is a noun clause.)

The noun that follows the preposition (i.e., everything that's shaded but not bolded in the examples) is calledthe object of a preposition. There will often be modifiers in the object of the preposition making it a noun phrase.For example:I sat with Simba. (There are no modifiers in this example.)I sat with the wonderful Simba.(With the modifiers "the" and "wonderful," the object of the preposition is now anoun phrase.)

The Function of Prepositional Phrases

1. Prepositional phrases functioning as adjectives that modify nounsDo you mean that boy in the corner? I know the policeman with the radio.

2. Prepositional phrases functioning as adverbs that modify verbsI live near the stadium. She speaks with notable enthusiasm.

Prepositional Phrases As AdjectivesLee raised his small mackerel with utmost pride. (The prepositional phrase modifies the verb "raised." It is an adverbof manner; i.e., it tells us how he raised it. We could have written "proudly raised," which proves that "with utmostpride" is functioning as an adverb.)Prepositional Phrases As AdverbsDawn is tired from the hike. (The prepositional phrase modifies the verb "is." It is an adverb of reason; i.e., it tells uswhy she is tired.)

Why Should I Care About Prepositional Phrases1. Don't treat a prepositional phrase as the subject of your verb.2. The noun in a prepositional phrase influences the verb with an expression like "most of," "some of," "half of,"

"majority of" and "99 percent of."3. Avoid ambiguity when placing your prepositional phrase.
