What does a prepositional phrase always have?

A prepositional phrase always has:

1. A preposition: This is the word that introduces the phrase (e.g., "on," "in," "under," "with," "by," "for," "about," etc.)

2. An object: This is the noun or pronoun that follows the preposition and completes the phrase.

Example:

* "Under the table"

* "Under" is the preposition.

* "The table" is the object.

Here's a simple way to think about it:

The preposition tells you *where, when, how, or why* something is happening, and the object tells you *what* is involved.
