2-d: Prepositions and Prepositional Phrases A PHRASE is a group of words WITHOUT a subject and verb (this acts as a single part of speech) A CLAUSE is a group of words WITH a subject and a verb. All phrases serve as a single part of speech. That means that even though each word of a prepositional phrase is acting as a certain part of speech, the whole phrase may be considered as doing one “job” in the sentence, or being one part of speech
Prepositional phrases generally serve as as either adjectives or adverbs. That means they will modify NOUNS if they are adjective phrases, or VERBS, ADJECTIVES, or other ADVERBS if they are adverb phrases
The squirrel ran up the tree, down the tree, behind the tree, through the tree, under the tree, around the tree, into the tree. All of the underlined words connect a noun, tree, with the rest of the sentence. What question do these phrases answer regarding the squirrel and the tree?
WHERE! (or possibly HOW). This means that these prepositional phrases are acting as what part of speech? Adverbs Because… The phrases answer where and how the verb was carried out!
