3. Prepositional phrases
The Take-Away
Prepositional phrases either function as an adjective or an adverb in a sentence.
There are two types of prepositional phrases.
adverbial
adjectival
ADVERBS describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. They answer the questions
How, when, where, and to what extent?
ADJECTIVES describe nouns and pronouns. They answer the questions which one, how many/much, and what kind?
Both adjectives and adverbs can be expressed as one word, a clause, or a phrase.
