Prepositional phrase

A prepositional phrase is a preposition and the noun following it. The preposition is in the head position and the noun is in the complement position.

Please note that prepositions are words such as in, from, to, etc. used before a noun or pronoun to show a place, a position, time or a method.

At the minimum, a prepositional phrase will begin with a preposition and end with a noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause, the “object” of the preposition.

The pattern for a prepositional phrase :

·         Preposition + noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause.

·         Preposition + modifier (s) + noun, pronoun, gerund or clause.
