Grammar: Prepositional Phrases
What is a Prepositional Phrase?
Prepositional phrases are groups of words containing prepositions. Remember that prepositions are words that
indicate the relationships between various elements within a sentence, and you’ll never have difficulty
identifying prepositional phrases.
A prepositional phrase is a group of words that lacks either a verb or a subject, and that functions as a unified
part of speech. It normally consists of a preposition and a noun or a preposition and a pronoun.
Remember the following rules for prepositional phrases and you will find that using them becomes much easier.
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. When they are used as adjectives, they modify
nouns and pronouns in the same way single-word adjectives do.
When prepositional phrases are used as adverbs, they at the same way single-word adverbs and adverb
clauses do, modifying adjectives, verbs, and other adverbs.
Just like bread and cheese are the minimum ingredients for making a cheese sandwich, a preposition and the
object of a preposition are the minimum requirements for forming a prepositional phrase. The object of a
preposition is the name for the noun or pronoun following the preposition.
Prepositional phrases don’t have to be plain. Just as adding more ingredients to a sandwich dresses it up, adding
more words such as adverbs or adjectives is a good method for spicing up prepositional phrases. As you read
the following examples of prepositional phrases, you’ll notice that the first sentence in each set contains a basic
prepositional phrase, while the second one contains a more interesting one.
