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.
