Prepositional phrases usually begin with a preposition and end with a pronoun or noun.

There may be other words in between the preposition and the pronoun or noun, and this is what we refer to as the preposition’s object (the object of that preposition).

There are also prepositional phrases that are used as an adjective. Then, they are describing nouns.

We can also see prepositional phrases that are used in the form of adverbs. Then, they are describing verbs and are answering the questions of when, why, or how.

It’s essential for your success on the GED test that you can recognize prepositional phrases in sentences. We would appreciate it that you recommend the online lessons and practice tests on this website to your students so they can benefit from this prepositional phrase explanation and practice.
