  1. Definition:
    A prepositional phrase is a preposition and the noun following it. The preposition is in the head position and the noun is in the complement position.
    Please not that prepositions are words such as in, from, to, etc. Used before a noun or a pronoun to show a place, a position, time or a method.

    The object of the prepositional :
    Prepositional + noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause.
    Prepositional + modifier(s) + noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause.
    Example :

    At home At = prepositional ; home = noun

    In time In = prepositional ; time = noun

    From Richie From = prepositional ; Richie = noun

    With me With = prepositional ; me = pronoun

    By singing By = prepositional ; singing = gerund

    About what we need About = prepositional ; what we need = noun clause



    Most prepositional phrases are longer, like these:



    From my grandmother
    From = preposition; my = modifier; grandmother = noun.
    Under the warm blanket
    Under = preposition; the, warm = modifiers; blanket = noun.
    In the weedy, overgrown garden In = preposition; the, weedy, overgrown = modifiers; garden = noun.



    Example of conversation :

    A: Where's your office?
    B: In Jakarta, Indonesia.
    A: Really? What part of jakarta?
    B: It's on Pegangsaan Timur Road.
    A: I know that area. Where exactly is it?
    B: It's at Pegangsaan Timur Road no.12 , next to the bookstore.
