At the minimum, a prepositional phrase will begin with a preposition and end with a noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause, the "object" of the preposition.
The object of the preposition will often have one or more modifiers to describe it. These are the patterns for a prepositional phrase:
FORMULA :
preposition + noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause
preposition + modifier(s) + noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause
Here are some examples of the most basic prepositional phrase:
1. At school
At = preposition; school = noun.
2. In time
In = preposition; time = noun.
3. FromYolla
From = preposition; Yolla = noun.
4. With you
With = preposition; you = pronoun.
5. By jumping
By = preposition; jumping = gerund.
6. About what we like
About = preposition; what we like = noun clause.
Most prepositional phrases are longer, like these:
*From my boyfriend
From = preposition; my = modifier; boyfriend = noun
*Under the
Under = preposition; the, warm = modifiers; blanket = noun
*In the weedy, overgrown garden
In = preposition; the, weedy, overgrown = modifiers; garden = noun.
*Along the busy, six-lane highway
Along = preposition; the, busy, six-lane = modifiers; highway = noun.
*Without excessively worrying
Without = preposition; excessively = modifier; worrying = gerund.
Understand what prepositional phrases do in a sentence.
A prepositional phrase will function as an adjective or adverb. As an adjective, the prepositional phrase will answer the question Which one?
examples:
#The soap on the bathroom floor is swollen from shower steam.
Which soap? The one on the bathroom floor!
#The sweet potatoes in the vegetable bin are green with mold.
Which sweet potatoes? The ones forgotten in the vegetable bin!
#The note from Aya confessed that she had eaten the leftover pizza.
Which note? The one from Aya !
As an adverb, a prepositional phrase will answer questions such as How? When? or Where?
**Yunai is stiff from yesterday's long football practice.
How did Yunai get stiff? From yesterday's long football practice!
**Before class, Friska begged his friends for a pencil.
When did Friska do his begging? Before class!
**Feeling brave, we tried the Dragon Breath Burritos at Atin's Taco Palace.
Where did we eat the spicy food? At Atin's Taco Palace!
Remember that a prepositional phrase will never contain the subject of a sentence.
Sometimes a noun within the prepositional phrase seems the logical subject of a verb. Don't fall for that trick! You will never find a subject in a prepositional phrase. Look at this example:
Neither of these cookbooks contains the recipe for Manhattan-style squid eyeball stew.Cookbooks do indeed contain recipes. In this sentence, however, cookbooks is part of the prepositional phrase of these cookbooks. Neither—whatever a neither is—is the subject for the verb contains.Neither is singular, so you need the singular form of the verb, contains. If you incorrectly identified cookbooks as the subject, you might write contain, the plural form, and thus commit a subject-verb agreement error.
Some prepositions—such as along with and in addition to—indicate "more to come." They will make you think that you have a plural subject when in fact you don't. Don't fall for that trick either! Read this example:
Rirri, along with the other students, breathed a sigh of relief when Mrs. Ita Sihombing announced that she was postponing the due date for the research essay.
Logically, more than one student is happy with the news. But Rirri is the only subject of the verb breathed. Her classmates count in the real world, but in the sentence, they don't matter, locked as they are in the prepositional phrase.
