🔹 What is a Prepositional Phrase?
A
prepositional phrase starts with a preposition (like *under*, *towards*, *on*, *along*, etc.) and includes a noun or pronoun (the object of the preposition). It shows the relationship between the noun and other parts of the sentence — such as location, direction, or time.
For example:
- "The treasure is
under the sea." → *"under the sea"* is the prepositional phrase showing location.
