Topic 3.6 The prepositional phrase (PP) Lengua Inglesa II Tom Morton

The prepositional phrase (PP) A preposition expresses a relationship between two entities (e.g. the man with the red beard).

The structure of the Prepositional Phrase (PP) A PP consists of a preposition (h) followed by a prepositional complement (c). Prepositional complements (also called completives) are most frequently realised by a NP, but they can also be realised by other groups and clauses…

Task: Look at the following examples and say what types of groups or clauses realise the complement of the PP: 1.I waited at the bus stop 2.I was surprised by what he said 3.I was pleased about Pat getting her PhD 4.I’m leaving for good 5.She lived there until quite recently 6.You can do it anywhere you like except in here 7.Have you decided about where to have dinner?

(2) d) _______________ the company as a whole, I would like to thank you for all your work (3) e) The train was delayed _______________ the weather.

Connective adjunct: On the other hand, he made no attempt to help the victim or apprehend her attacker. Complement of a verb: We depend on you.
