What do Prepositional phrases begin with and end with?

Prepositional phrases begin with a preposition and end with a noun or pronoun (the object of the preposition).

Here's a breakdown:

* Preposition: A word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence. Some common prepositions include: on, in, at, to, from, with, for, by, about, of, etc.

* Object of the Preposition: The noun or pronoun that the preposition is relating to.

Example:

"The cat under the table is sleeping."

* Preposition: "under"

* Object of the Preposition: "table"

Here are some other examples:

* on the shelf

* in the box

* at the park

* to the store

* from the house

* with a friend

* for dinner

* by the river

* about the book

* of the day

Prepositional phrases can act as adjectives (modifying nouns) or adverbs (modifying verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs). They add detail and information to sentences.
